Neens grew up in the island-style communities of San Diego. Far from Hawaii, but close to plate lunch, surfing and ukulele jammin, Neens is the creator of the Musubi Map and the I Love Poke Festival, both vehicles that reflect his passion for all things Hawaiian. He was raised on local-style home cooking thanks to his Mom, Gles, also known as the Filipina Betty Crocker. This recipe is one of Neens’ favorite dishes that he grew up eating, courtesy of his Mom. Thanks, Mom!

This is a fun way to teach your child how to use chopsticks. You can buy “training” chopsticks at your local Asian market or online. You can also get really creative with your fillings. We like to use cream cheese, cucumber, hummus and more. Also, for our peanut butter and jelly sushi, click on the link now: http://www.kingshawaiian.com/recipes/peanut-butter-jelly-sushi/
