Episode 18: Sushi

When I visited my Uncle Cy in Ocean Beach, California I found out that he doesn't like to eat sushi. But that's because he never tried my sushi. I don't eat raw fish, or any fish really. And I'm not supposed to eat avocado right now. But vegetables and cream cheese make pretty yummy sushi rolls. Sushi is really fun and easy to make. And even Cy liked it when we were done!

Ingredients:
One package of nori or dried seaweed (look for it by the Asian foods)
One cup of cooked sushi rice (look for it on the rice aisle)
1 avocado, sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, seeds removed, sliced in strips
cream cheese, cut into strips
soy sauce for dipping

What to do:
Prepare a bowl of water for dipping fingers

Lay seaweed on a flat surface.
Dip your fingers in water and grab little clumps of rice.
Flatten rice gently onto seaweed.
Dip your fingers in water each time you get more rice.
Cover seaweed with rice, leaving a strip on one end of seaweed open for sealing.
Layer on cream cheese and veggies in a strip down the center of the rice.
Roll up covered seaweed.
Slice.
Dip in soy sauce.
Eat!
