How to make a family -type sushi sushi (step by step)
Step 1: If you don’t already have, cook your sticky rice and let it cool (or better yet, do it at night before and open it in the fridge!).
Step 2: Cut the mango, avocado and cucumber into thin strips. Gather your fish, Nori and sesame leaves.
Step 3: Make the spicy magician by mixing Mayo with Sriracha in your taste.
Step 4: Place everything on the table and let everyone build their own wrappers. It’s basically night sushi without roller pressure!
Do you want to try your hand on a full sushi roll? Here is:
How to roll a sushi wrapper (optional!)
- Place your Nori sheet shiny side down. (A parchment sheet of underneath helps!)
- Spread a generous ¾ cup rice evenly over the Nori, leaving a few inches bare at the top.
- Add your fills to a fine line along the rice.
- Wet your finger and run it along the naked edge of Nori to help it seal.
- Tight scroll in a log. Seal the edge with a little more water.
- Cut in half and enjoy!
Not in rolling? No problem – just throw everything in a bowl and call it a bowl of sushi. Still delicious. Still fun.
Tips from a diet mama
What kind of fish can I use?
Anything you love and have salmon, cooked salmon, canned tone or tone from the store (I get mine in the costco!).
Can I do this vegetarian?
Completely! Try the tofu strips, edamame, or even fresh slices of sweet potato for a vegetable twist.
My kids aren’t in algae … help?
Try cutting the Nori into strips and serving them on top like a garnish – or let them skip it and throw everything in a bowl. It’s all right.
For what age is it appropriate for?
This is ideal for children who are at least 4+, but younger ones can enjoy a depressed bowl version. Just skip the spicy magician for the little ones and serve with soy sauce.
Why family -type meals just work
As a dietitian and mom, I can’t advertise enough family meals. When children can serve themselves, they feel more controlled. It creates confidence, encourages exploration and can severely reduce the anxiety of meal. Win-win.

Make the spicy magician: in a small bowl, add the magician. Mix your Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce, starting with 2 teaspoons to try.
Adjust all prepared ingredients to create everyone and roll their own sushi wraps. If you need a little help with scroll, see the notes below.
To roll your sushi wrap: Place the Nori Shiny Side Down sheet (you can use a piece of parchment paper to help with the cylinder if you wish). Spread a generous ¾ cup rice in a uniform layer over the Nori, leaving a few inches of revelation on top. In a minute, even mattress, over the rice with the desired fills. Run a wet finger on the top of the Nori to seal it after the orbit. Grab the end of the nori roll and start rolling tightly in a log. Seal the long end of the calendar with a little more water. Slice in half width and enjoy!
