Here’s what we’d do
Set out cooked rice, cooked proteins or vegetables, and separate toppings so people can build their own bowls. Use familiar ingredients rather than making raw fish preparation part of the plan. The host can join the table once the components are ready.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Choose a short ingredient list around guests' food needs and available serving dishes.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Arrange components with separate utensils and let everyone choose their own proportions.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Share the meal, then pack remaining food according to appropriate storage guidance.
