My mil made Maki 2 weeks ago. It’s actually quite simple and all the ingredients used are healthy and wholesome stuff. This is also a suitable food for toddlers.
This is what you’ll need :
Japanese rice
Chicken breast – cut them into cubes
Carrots – cut them into cubes
3 eggs
Japanese mayonaise (you can omit this if you’re feeding a toddler)
Japanese cucumber
Seaweed – use good quality ones so that they are crispy and crunchy and easy to bite on when the Maki is ready.
Japanese bamboo mat for making sushi
Crab sticks, Japanese pickles, Unagi (eel), Fish roe (all optional)
Salt
Method :
First, cook some Japanese rice. Then,
Pan-fry the eggs and cut the Japanese cucumbers into strips.
Steam the chicken and carrot cubes with a little salt and pepper. Once ready, add them into the cooked rice and mix well.
Place the mixture of rice, chicken and carrots, together with the strips of eggs and cucumber onto the seaweed on top of the Jap bamboo mat. Squeeze in some Japanese mayonaise.
Using Japanese mayonaise gives the Maki a better taste, as compared to using regular mayo as Jap mayo is creamier and tastier.
Rolling the Maki must be done right, otherwise the fillings will be loose and slip out from the seaweed.
Once the Maki is rolled up, cut it into bite sizes.
The bite size Maki ready to be served.

Shireen, i send you a tag 🙂
Healthy japanese food 😀 lot of work though eh?
I prefer making temaki, it’s easier to make than maki.
Just use rice and a chunk of salmon.

Wow,,,look so delicious and easy to make ler…but, I’m so lazy to prepare the ingredient..can belanja me huh? 😛
thanks alot for all your recipes in your blog here!! I got ideas in preparing home meals for my kids. Btw, my sushi rice turn out quite soft la, i feel it’s too sticky & difficult to spread on the nori, can help?
Sun Sun… too soft could be due to too much water when u cook the rice. You may want to reduce the amount of water. Also let your rice cool down a bit first b4 spreading on the nori.
