Family Sushi Night!

Family Sushi Night is a great way to gather around the family table with minimal cooking and create memories. All the preparation is done beforehand to make it easy and enjoyable. All of the ingredients are gluten free. Remember, we eat with our eyes, so lots of colour and variety is the key for the ingredients. I bought the bamboo mat and nori sheets from my local supermarket and always available in your local Asian supermarket. When you are there, you will be tempted to buy more ingredients such as wasabi, kewpie mayo and fried shallots. Its all part of the fun!

Family Sushi Night is also a healthy way to eat and bond with the family. Its as an easy way to feed a crowd and create leftovers for lunch. You can choose any fillings you like – tuna, gluten free schnitzel, salmon, avocado, tofu, prawns. Lets get go! Inspiration for you ….

2. Prep! Prep! Prep! As you can see in the above photo, I love to plate everything. Cook your proteins. Slice them ready to go. Slice your veggies. Dice your avocado. Included your sauces, fresh chilli, baby spinach – whatever you have in the fridge.
