We had a great time making, plating and garnishing our very own sandwich sushi. Everyone had the chance to design and construct their own sushi roll based on their individual tastes, likes, and dislikes. Many voiced ideas about other ingredients one could use inside the sushi roll and everyone was excited to repeat their experience at home. Parents were also pleasantly surprised to see their children so excited about making a healthy snack or lunch for themselves. We also loved hearing one of the children explaining to their parents the nuances of aesthetics in terms of plating and garnishing, “Just like in a restaurant!” Sandwich Sushi was a success on all counts!
See below for recipe.
1 Tortilla
1 Cream Cheese Packet (or 3 TBS)
1 piece deli ham (or sandwich meat of your choice)
1 shredded carrot
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 lettuce leaf
1 cucumber, sliced length wise
Cilantro (for garnish)
Slice 1 inch strip off the end of the tortilla, to make a straight edge. Spread tortilla with cream cheese, place ham, lettuce, cucumber, carrot and red bell pepper on opposite end of tortilla from straight edge, Tightly roll tortilla toward straight edge. Slice ½ inch pieces of “sushi” from the now rolled “sushi roll”. Plate sushi pieces on a plate and garnish with cilantro. Enjoy!
