welcome back now that most kids are back
in school you might be thinking about
ways to switch up their lunch routine
executive chef from Southern cadence
cuisine Michelle Morris is here along
with Adi Rio and justice to teach us
some really creative roll-ups or sushi
now your kids will love to make and eat
great to see you good to see you too you
too this is such a great idea because
you're basically you are using sushi
paper but you're kind of doing a little
twist exactly so we have kid-approved
ingredients and what they're it's easy
because it's so much fun that's the nice
thing about doing sushi is it doesn't
have to be serious you can have fun with
it doesn't have to be perfect it'll be
perfectly imperfect because the kids get
to roll and have a good time and and
they're gonna trade trade lunch with
their friends I'm sure they're gonna
want to have these lunches so this is
gorgeous and we should point out by the
way that obviously sushi comes in many
different forms we're not dealing with
raw fish today here we're not they would
not let me do I want it to know right
and that and it's actually easier to
take in their lunch in a lunch kit stew
so we have a grilled chicken and a
veggie and then we also have like a
little sweet fresh roll yeah well let's
start with outta here who's gonna rock
us into a veggie roll right he's gonna
spray your hands because what's sushi
it's very sticky rice is very sticky
right so we got sticky hands over our
little hands really good and rub them
together and you're gonna take your
little ball and get to town there you go
okay now you're gonna squish it perfect
all the way down the paper I'll hold on
to him for easily does it run away and
where do you get the seaweed paper at
any local grocery store there's a lot of
Asian markets around town too that you
can get them from you can also do soy
paper if they're little ones not really
want to do the whole seaweed situation
you can do soy as well so we don't have
to go to Galveston right what about the
sticky rice is that something should we
order out make our own you can make your
own it's really easy actually sell sushi
rice in the container all you do is
seize it with a little bit of seasoned
rice vinegar okay
and you just that's the flavoring with
it and then you just squish away okay
let's keep on going so I want you to put
your ingredients in so give me one
cucumber perfect that's just a cucumber
that's sliced into existence yep we're
going to cumber that's right
and then we're going to do a sprinkle of
carrots and then we're gonna have you do
a red pepper as well and do you want
some avocado what are you thinking yay
or nay what do you think a do for
avocado yay very serious question okay
so we have about three minutes so let's
while you're rolling that one Adi so you
remember how we rolled it up there so
you just roll on the top so take your
little hands you're gonna roll and catch
and call keep rolling keep rolling keep
rolling nice and tight about it being
but a boom and then what I like to do is
I'll kind of tighten it up just a little
back side remember our little hands will
give it a squeeze and then there we go
our little rolls and then we can just
cut it and you also you could eat it you
could yes slice it just for the lunch
and Daddy well done girlfriend job addy
you're welcome all right
my REO he's my other little master chefs
let's so much you got Rio so put your
little sushi ball there let me spray
your hands here I thank you
here is a chef yeah while we're getting
this prepped and Rio is gonna work on
the rice again this is the chicken
tahini ranch roll so this is using
cooked ingredients yep and we're gonna
go ahead and get that rice going that's
right awesome okay so same process you
take that sticky rice ball yep and
you're gonna make sure it goes all the
way to the edges so mr. shell is gonna
help you with my avocado hands okay all
the way down perfect and then we're
gonna go all the way down to the edge
and then we're gonna add all your
ingredient and Rio how does that feel on
your hands it's sticky okay okay cool so
as you're adding the ingredients in
Michelle in Rio go ahead and build your
sushi roll you're using grilled chicken
but it's right
you know maybe timing purposes you
recommend rotisserie as well you can do
with history as well so we want to make
it easy as possible and if you're
grilling over the weekend save some of
that protein or yeah veggies and throw
it in you can literally put anything in
a fishy well as we'll see here we do our
little fruit roll yeah you start working
on yours justice okay so we have the
shiny side down grab your little sushi
ball we're gonna do our sprayed Eric
spirits we go
to give you a quick water spray here we
go watching different twist this one is
gonna have French it is so this is gonna
be the nice sweet roll at the end so
I've kind of out there to desert so
they'll have kind of a salad roll one
with protein and you have a dessert roll
FN so I think this is so great because
not only is it a great nutritious lunch
for kids but it could be a great
after-school
and you can add in whatever you want or
take away there's no rhyme or reason
right exactly so if your kids not a huge
fan of do we you know the nori or they
don't want to do carrots we can do
whatever their favorite veggies or
proteins are so okay perfect justice so
yes this is really present okay so let's
go ahead and put your ingredient so pick
a mango slice right there in the middle
and it's not like Michele started to
jump in but it seems like the
preparation of the fruits and veggies go
it's probably the most time consuming
part of this plot of times I'll just
pre-cut things over you know over the
weekend it's have like little bowls of
veggies around so that way they can kind
of pick and choose what they want to do
and this is toasted coconut that gives
it a little crunch nicely then we're
gonna cut Rios and you'll be all ready
to go so let's see yes all look
fantastic so again you give it a nice
tight roll at the end and you can either
eat the the rolled up hand roll or you
can slice it up and get all the show
this is really interesting it to all of
our kids great job with Michelle on
facebook at southern cadence cuisine and
we do have her recipes from the segment
already on our website Houston life TV
