Single-Serve Sushi in a Mason Jar

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UGA chapter.

If you have ever tried to make sushi on your own, with limited cooking skills like mine, chances are you have a sticky mess that is just falling apart.

Luckily, as long as you’re not too keen on the “sushi roll” look, you can still enjoy all the wonderful combined flavors of sushi that you crave — in a mason jar. Jar lunches are easy to put together, store, and carry around. With a little bit of prep and layering, you can easily have your own sushi in a jar.
