Delicious Japanese meals you can make with your kids and get everyone to enjoy eating healthier!

Japanese Cooking with Kids is the perfect way for you and your kids to learn about Japanese cooking while having fun in the kitchen — and to get them excited about eating healthy meals. Some of these dishes may even become their new favorites!

These 50 kid-tested recipes for ages 8 to 14 get "two thumbs up" and empty plates every time. They include:

  • Ever-popular Rice Dishes like Onigiri Rice Balls, Sushi Rice in Tofu Pockets and Chicken and Egg Rice Bowls
  • Flavors from the Sea including Japanese Seaweed Sprinkles on Popcorn and Tuna Salad Sushi Rolls
  • Classic Japanese Favorites like steamed Gyoza Potstickers and Miso Ramen Noodle Soup
  • Cute Bento Lunch Boxes with Octopus-shaped Hot Dogs and delicious Japanese-style Fried Chicken
  • Delicious Desserts and Drinks like Strawberry Soy Milk, Glazed Mochi Balls and Green Tea Matcha Tea Cakes
  • And so much more!

Each chapter in this book contains a fun, hands-on activity like counting to 10 in Japanese while washing your hands, growing your own green onions or making your own chopstick rests! In addition to preparing delicious Japanese recipes, kids will learn the basic principles of Japanese cuisine — eating foods that are in season, and only eating until you feel 80% full—to help you live a healthier life.

Japanese Cooking with Kids will give you and your family a whole new perspective on food and eating—the Japanese way!
