Wiener Sausage Koinobori (Flying Carp)
- 2 Wiener sausages
- 1 Sliced cheese
- 1 Nori seaweed
- 1 strand uncooked Long pasta (e.g. spaghetti)
- 1 Corn kernel
- Cut a straw in half, and cut one of the halves in half again.
- Bake the strand of pasta in a toaster oven until golden brown.
- Make cuts in the sausage with the straw bits.
- You only need to make shallow cuts.
- Make any straight cuts with a knife.
- This is how it looks after boiling for 1 minute.
- Cut either end of the sausage while seeing how well balanced it is.
- Make small cuts for the eyes with a round uncut straw.
- Use one of the cut straws to dig out the eye holes.
- Cut out the sliced cheese using the round uncut straw.
- Insert the cheese into the sausage eye sockets.
- Pierce the sausage with the baked pasta, and decorate with the corn kernel.
- A pick would be cute too.
- Punch out the eye pupils from nori seaweed using a nori punch, and stick onto the cheese.
