Leftover Sausage – with a Zoo Fork to eat with.
Leftover Pasta – I cook up a big batch and then rinse leftovers with cold water to stop from sticking.
Jarlsberg Cheese Wedges – with Eye See You Food Picks.
Apple – that is dipped in Apple Juice to stop from browning.
Edamame – You can find them Supermarket Freezer section next to Peas & Corns! I get mine frozen from my local Asian Food Store or Japanese Restaurant already cooked.
Marshmellow (for a little sweetness).

Served in the Yumbox leakproof Bento Box!

The Inside Out Sushi is a great way to introduce Sushi to your children, without the seaweed being too much for them!

How to make Inside Out Sushi:

1 cup Sushi Rice – we use Mama San Sushi Rice (You can get this from your local Asian Food Store)
1.5 cups Water
Filling for Sushi (we used Tuna and Mayonnaise)
Nori Paper (Seaweed Paper)

You will also need:
Rice Cooker
Easy Peasy Sushi Maker
Water to wash Sushi Rice

Instructions:

Wash Sushi Rice at least three times.
Place Rice and 1.5 cups water into the Rice Cooker and turn on.

Prepare filling – Tuna and Mayonnaise and spread it out onto the Nori Paper and then roll up (once around)
Inside Out Sushi
Once Rice is cooked, place Rice into the Easy Peasy Sushi Maker and fill halfway.

Inside Out Sushi

Place filling along the middle and then top rest of the Sushi Maker with Rice.
Put the lid on and press down – allow Sushi Rice to cool slightly so it sticks together.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the fridge.
Cut with a serrated knife.

Inside Out Sushi

Eat immediately or pop in a container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
