IF YOUR CHILDREN ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO THIS WINTER BREAK... HOW ABOUT EATING WITH THEIR FINGERS!
CHECK OUT THIS WEEKS "YOUR FAMILY" SEGMENT ON FOX40.COM.
ART XAMONTEE SHOWS US HOW TO MAKE ANIMAL SHAPED SUSHI, INCLUDING A SNAKE, LADY BUG, PEACOCK AND MANY OTHERS.
GREAT FUN FOR KIDS AND A GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE THEM TO POPULAR FOOD ITEM.
SUSHI DOESN'T HAVE TO BE RAW FISH. FOR YOUR CHILDREN YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE CHICKEN STRIPS, LUNCH MEAT, CHEESE OR VEGETABLES.
AS FAR AS COOKING THE RICE, A RICE COOKER MAKES IS IT REALLY EASY. AFTER THE RICE IS DONE TRANSFER IT TO A WIDESPREAD PAN, OR A CASSEROLE DISH AND LET IT COOL.
SPRINKLE WITH SUSHI VINEGAR AND USE A SPOON TO GENTLY FOLD THE VINEGAR INTO THE RICE.
TRANSFER IT BACK TO THE POT AND COVER SO THAT IS STAYS MOIST AND TEPID.
WHEN ROLLING THE SUSHI, TWO ITEMS INSIDE WORK THE BEST.
REMEMBER THAT IN ADDITION TO RICE AND YOUR ITEMS FOR INSIDE THE ROLL, YOU NEED NORI SHEETS (PRESSED SHEETS OF GLOSSY BLACK PRODUCT MADE FROM DRIED AND PRESSED BROWN ALGAE) AND A ROLLING MAT.
