Tuna + Nori Rolls
With 2 kiddo's at home who love a visit to sushi train, I was on the look out for a quick, easy alternative to sushi rolls! When I saw someone share a version of this I decided to recreate it for my littles!
Age and modifications: Can be served from 6 months with modifications.
6 - 9 months - The rice, corn and tuna mixture could be served pureed or slightly mashed. Crumble the nori sheet and sprinkle on top.
9 - 18 months - The texture of the rice mix should be fine as is. Would still crumble the nori sheet.
Around 18 months - Bub will likely be able to join in the fun and scoop and roll their own nori rolls.
Avoid the raw carrot sticks until 2+, serve them grated for younger kids instead.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes (just enough to heat the tuna)
Allergens: Fish (tuna) - unfortunately it's kind of a crucial ingredient here but you could substitute for canned salmon or for a slightly more time required alternative shredded chicken breast could also work well.
