Fast, no-cook, kid-friendly sushi may seem like a pretty tall order, but if you ditch the seafood and rely on just one healthy convenience food, it's easy.

After several attempts, Minute brand Ready to Serve! brown rice cups proved to work best in sushi when combined with seasoned rice vinegar (a traditional ingredient that gives sushi a sweet acidity).

If your little ones aren't ready for seafood, apples, carrots and cheese create an unusual but delicious combination.

For a dipping sauce, kids might prefer a bottled Asian peanut sauce, creamy salad dressing or even warm jarred pasta sauce.

Use a sheet of sturdy plastic wrap or waxed paper in place of a traditional sushi rolling mat.
