YOU WILL NEED:
Pre-cooked and cooled rice
Dried seaweed sheets (Nori)
Rice vinegar
Salt
Fruit and vegetables - Sweetcorn, cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce
Sliced cheese
Ketchup
Mayo
Scissors
Cling film
How to make a sushi Poké Ball for your bento box:
Start by washing your hands, as you'll be handling food.
First make your sushi rice by mixing in vinegar, a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar.
TOP TIP: The stickier the rice, the better so sushi rice or jasmine rice is best.
Place the rice mix onto your cling film and wrap it into a tight ball.
Split your rice in half and add one half to a bowl. Mix in some ketchup to make a lovely red colour.
Roll your plain sushi rice into a ball and place onto some cling film. Roll your red sushi rice into a ball and place on top of the plain rice. Wrap the cling film around both balls and roll together in the cling film to create a ball shape. Leave to set.
Cut a long strip of seaweed to wrap around your ball and a circle shape.
Next cut a circle shape of cheese and use mayonnaise to stick it to the circle of seaweed.
Remove your rice from the clingfilm and wrap your strip of seaweed round the middle. Stick your cheese and seaweed circle to the centre with some more mayonnaise.
Your sushi Poké Ball is ready to go and catch some Pokémon, or to get everyone chatting at lunchtime.
