Easy Charaben Doraemon with Nori Seaweed
- 1 Hot cooked white rice
- 1 Nori seaweed
- 1 Red wiener sausage
- 1 Sliced cheese
- 1 2 x 2 cm piece Thin omelette crepe (usuyaki tamago)
- 1 Thin long pasta
- Fill the rice with any filling you'd like and make a round onigiri (rice ball) for the face.
- Slightly flatten the surface where his face will be.
- Cut out a paper pattern that's a little smaller than the rice ball.
- (About 4/5 of the surface area of his entire face for balance).
- Prepare a piece of nori seaweed that is big enough to completely cover the rice ball.
- Fold it in half, and cut it following the the shape of the template.
- Stick the nori seaweed from Step 3 on the rice ball evenly.
- Make the nori seaweed adhere well to the rice ball using plastic wrap.
- Slice the red wiener sausage about 5 mm thick, and secure to the bottom of the face using spaghetti strands.
- Cut the thin omelette using a round cutter, to make the bell for the neck.
- Put the rice ball from Step 6 into a bento box.
- Secure the egg "bell" from Step 7 to the sausage with a piece of spaghetti strands.
- Cut the sliced cheese out into two oval shapes for the eyes.
- (I use a Charappa brand oval-shaped cutter.
- Since the oval shapes are long, I cut out 2 pieces per eye.)
- Cut a round shape from a piece of thinly sliced sausage for the nose.
- Secure the sausage slices from Step 10 using a piece of spaghetti strands.
- Make the other facial features with nori seaweed, stick them on and it's done.
