Easy! My Melody Onigiri For Charaben (Decorative Bentos)
- 1 Hot cooked white rice
- 1 Colorful pink "decofuri" furikake
- 1/2 slice Cheese
- 1 dash Ham
- 1 dash Nori seaweed
- 1 dash A thin vegetable sheet (sold in stores; or a piece of thin omelette or cheese)
- Mix the "decofuri" furikake with the rice.
- Divide the rice into 3 portions - a large one for the face and 2 small portions for the ears.
- Form each portion into a ball.
- Put the balls into a bento box.
- If the ears fall off, affix them to the head with pieces of long thin pasta.
- Make an oval shape from kitchen parchment paper, and use it as a pattern to cut an oval shape from the cheese using a toothpick.
- Make the facial features: The face...cheese; the mouth...nori seaweed; the nose...a piece of vegetable sheet, omelette or cheese.
- If you layer the cheese on top of a slice of ham, it will be more stable and not get too soft.
- Put the facial features on, and it's done.
- Add hands and accessories to make it cute.
- These are the special bento decorating tools I used.
- For this version I added a bonnet made out of ham.
- Please make your own My Melody variations.
