CANDY SUSHI FOR KIDS

Candy Sushi for Kids image

Candy sushi is perfect for kids' birthdays or an April Fool's day joke. It is the most yummy thing I've ever made beside my orange Creamsicle® pie. And its very simple, so even my 6-year-old can make it! If you want to be more creative, spread frosting and sprinkles on the top of the circle under the Swedish Fish®!

Tips:

Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for sushi-grade fish, which has been frozen to kill any parasites. If you're using raw fish, make sure to purchase it from a reputable source.
Prepare your sushi rice properly: Sushi rice is the foundation of any good sushi dish. Make sure to rinse it thoroughly before cooking, and then cook it according to the package directions. Once it's cooked, let it cool slightly before adding the vinegar mixture.
Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife is essential for cutting sushi. A dull knife will tear the fish and make it difficult to get clean, even slices.
Be patient: Making sushi takes time and practice. Don't get discouraged if your first few attempts don't turn out perfectly. Just keep practicing, and you'll eventually get the hang of it.
