These sushi poppers are tasty and do not require an expert to prepare. Young children would find these fun to make. Ingredients:

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar |
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds or 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds |
1 large ripe mango |
1/2 cup smoked salmon, chopped small |
1 (7 1/2 ounce) can of solid albacore tuna in water |
1/4 lb fresh small shrimp |
1 small fresh cucumber |
1 large avocado |
4 ounces cream cheese |
wasabi paste |
Directions:
1. In a large shallow dish, spread rice and sprinkle with seasoned rice vinegar and sesame seeds.
2. Using a wooden spoon, toss gently to combine, (DO NOT STIR or rice will clump).
3. Keep rice covered with a damp cloth if not using immediately.
4. Using wet fingers, place a rounded teaspoonful of rice in the palm of your hand and roll into a ball.
5. Make an indentation in the center with your finger.
6. Place your choice of desired filling in the indentation.
7. In small bowls, make up a combination of fillings that you enjoy.
