Mr. Snowman Bento
- 1 as much (to taste) Hot cooked white rice
- 1 stick Imitation crabsticks
- 1 Nori seaweed
- 1 dash Ketchup
- Make 2 round onigiri rice balls and flatten out the top and bottom.
- These rice balls aren't filled with anything as I didn't have time, but even salted onigiri are delicious.
- Punch the eyes, mouth, and buttons out of a sheet of nori seaweed and stick them onto the snowman If the rice is still warm the nori may wrinkle, so stick them on once the rice has cooled.
- If the rice is still hot, then leave this step until last.
- Carefully peel off the top red layer of the imitation crabstick and wrap it around the snowman's neck.
- If you are worried about it coming off...
- ...stick a tiny bit of nori seaweed to the end of the crabstick, and onto this, dab on a tiny bit of ketchup with a toothpick to stick it in place.
- To make the part of the scarf that sticks out, simply cut a piece of the red layer of the crabstick and stick it on.
- I cut the end of the scarf like a ribbon end.
- Dab some ketchup onto the cheeks with a toothpick and you're done.
- For Christmas, I gave the snowman a Santa hat and surrounded him in decorative curry.
much, crabsticks, ketchup
