Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Rolled sandwiches are a lunch-box favorite in Japan, and they look so much fancier than a regular sandwich for almost no extra work.
Swap ideas: peanut butter and banana, jam and cream cheese, or egg salad.
Make it a learning moment: look at the spiral inside. The same swirl shape shows up in snail shells and sunflower seeds.
