Seaweed... What to do?

Seaweed. It's great for a person, and is practically a staple in Japanese cuisine. This coming week I must pack a lunch for myself, and a very picky eater. I've searched the web for anything along the lines of "easy lunch ideas for picky toddlers" and "easy lunch ideas for teens" and even just "easy lunch ideas for kids". It was all pretty much the same thing: turkey pinwheels, sandwiches (almond butter and apples, avocado and some fruit, apples and peanut butter, etc.), and pizza. I, for one, have none of these ingredients and would not want to buy them just to find out that the picky eater and I do not like them.

Something we do enjoy eating, however, is seaweed. But how would one put that in a lunch, you ask? Well, I like to make a create-your-own-sushi box. And here is my recipe:

3 sheets sushi nori (those big sheets of seaweed in those bags in the Japanese supermarket)

1-2 cups cooked white rice (I like jasmine rice, but you can use whatever you have)

8 tablespoons rice seasoning (My favorite brand is Nori Komi Furikake)

Put rice in a thermos. Cut seaweed sheets in half. Put rice seasoning in container. Pack in lunchbox. Enjoy!
