Ranging from the youngest Niwa-ian at 22 months to the eldest of 5 years old, Xu Laoshi introduced the healthy recipe of ‘Japanese Sushi Maki’ with the fresh ingredients as follows;
- Tamago (fried egg)
- Kani (crabstick)
- Ninjin (carrot)
- Kyūri (cucumber)
- Amerika (rice)
- Kaisō (seaweed)
At the table, the little ones were guided step-by-step, one-by-one where each child was given ample time to explore the ingredients, and learnt the art of rolling the ‘Japanese Sushi Maki’ under the facilitation of the teacher.
Step 1: Add the seaweed onto the bamboo roll.
Step 2: Add the rice evenly onto the seaweed.
Step 3: Add the ingredients onto the rice.
Step 4: Roll the ‘Sushi Maki’.
Step 5: Cut and serve.
Through this cookery experience, young Niwa-ians discussed about the importance of eating a healthy diet and choosing good food that are essential for their growth. Simplicity to perfection!
