CANDY SUSHI FOR KIDS
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 and seafood, and use short-grain rice for the perfect texture.
- Prepare the rice properly: The rice is the foundation of sushi, so it's important to cook it correctly. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking, and then cook it according to the package directions. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly before adding the vinegar mixture.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife is essential for cutting the fish and seafood for sushi. A dull knife will tear the fish, making it difficult to roll and eat.
- Roll the sushi tightly: When rolling the sushi, make sure to roll it tightly so that it holds together. If the sushi is too loose, it will fall apart when you cut it.
- Serve sushi with the right accompaniments: Sushi is typically served with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. These accompaniments help to enhance the flavor of the sushi.
Conclusion:
Making sushi at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can make delicious sushi that your whole family will enjoy. These kid-friendly sushi recipes are a great place to start, and they're sure to be a hit with your little ones. So get creative and have fun!
