Kid-Friendly Sushi Bake Recipe
Hi everyone, as promised, I’ll try my best to post again on a weekly baisis. Today’s post is one of the easiest and “less ligpit” dinners in our house. I am sure at one point you have tried to make this, or ordered this online, but I am sharing you a slightly tweaked, kid-friendly version of the recipe.
If you have long been a reader of this blog, you will know that I usually go for the easy nutritious meals for my brood. It is not easy to juggle homeschooling and three kids and so we are all for made from scratch freezer meals, meal planning, and easy, filling and nutritious meals.
Child-friendly Sushi Bake is super yummy
Unlike most sushi bake recipes, this one does not use Sriracha since my children are sensitive to spicy food (like most kids are). While we use cucumber half the time, there are times I run out of it. One day, I tried to use apples since that is the closes thing to cucumber in my vegetable chiller. Apples turned out to be a good, crunchy substitute that enhances the flavor of the other ingredients in this child-friendly sushi bake.
Based on my experience, this promises to be a happy, child-friendly sushi bake recipe in both taste and dining experience. I am sure that just like my kids, yours will also enjoy scooping spoonfuls upon spoonfuls of this baked sushi recipe in their nori sheets like making baby tacos! Yum and easy!
Anyway, this recipe is good for a family of five, and I usually bake it in a casserole dish, an extra large loaf pan, or in individual aluminum trays. Without further ado, here is my Kid-Friendly Version of Sushi Bake.
