Sushi Balls With Twice the Sashimi

My son loves sushi, so I wanted to make a lot of these for him.
It's best to make these sushi balls quite small.
But mine unintentionally end up the size of onigiri rice balls anyway. Recipe by REAL mama

I make this for celebrations and parties. I always worry about what to combine with what, so I thought I'd post this for reference.■ Sticking the sushi toppings to warm rice will reduce their level of freshness. ■ You could also use toppings like ama-ebi (sweet shrimp) or steamed shrimp (with mayonnaise), kohada gizzard shad (with julienned ginger), parboiled and rolled greens, roast beef, cured ham, eel, pickled sakura blossoms or leaves and so on. For 4 servings. Recipe by Keyua cookpad.japan -
My Family's Hand-Rolled Sushi with Just A Bit of Sashimi My Family's Hand-Rolled Sushi with Just A Bit of Sashimi
Buying enough sushi for everybody is expensive. If you prepare lots of other ingredients other than the sashimi, your seafood-wary kids will have a blast, too, and everyone will end up happy and well-fed.One time, I messed up my cooking, so we only had just a bit of ingredients left. What we did then was play a guessing game to make things fun -- one person would wrap up a secret sushi ingredient in a hand roll, and another person would eat it and try to guess what was in it.

Super Easy Shiso-flavored Salmon Sushi Balls Super Easy Shiso-flavored Salmon Sushi Balls
My children don't really like sour food, but if I make these sushi, they gobble them up. Plus, this kind of vinegar is really mild on your tongue I always make tons of these sushi rolls, but I'm always surprised to hear my kids say: "We want seconds!"If you wet your hands with vinegar or water when shaping the sushi rice, it won't stick to your fingers.You can also use different leafy vegetables, sansho leaves or herbs for the topping. When using regular vinegar, please try these approximate measurements: 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt Please adjust the amount of sugar and salt to your tastes.
