Behind the scenes:
This time as well, I created a menu themed around a traditional Japanese breakfast. For the soup, I chose miso soup packed with leafy greens and protein. The rice dish is a chip-style rice ball, made by sandwiching rice between sheets of nori and cutting it into bite-sized pieces so it’s easier for children to eat. For the main dish, I prepared the classic grilled salmon. As a side dish, I included a salad with vegetables that children often tend to avoid, dressed in a sesame sauce to make them more appealing. Additionally, I included processed cheese to help with calcium intake, and for dessert, an orange to provide a boost of vitamins.
