Simple Hina Doll Onigiri for Bento
- 120 grams Hot cooked white rice
- 1/2 tsp Mentsuyu (seasoning soy sauce)
- 1/2 Nori seaweed
- 1 Carrot, as needed
- 1 bean, Cooked kuro-mame (black beans, usually black soy beans)
- 1 Spaghetti, as needed
- Mix mentsuyu sauce into the rice, and shape two round rice balls (use rice mixed with salmon flakes or ketchup, or plain white rice - whatever you like).
- Stick on the hair parts, and cut notches into the overlaps to make them easier to wrap.
- (Feel free to arrange the hair as you like).
- Wrap up again in plastic wrap to let the nori seaweed settle.
- Cut the crown from boiled carrot using three petals from a flower shape cutter.
- This looks cute if you use a straw to cut it as well.
- I used a black bean for the black lacquered head gear.
- Make sure to use spaghetti to hold it in place.
- Cut the nori seaweed with a punch or scissors to make the faces, stick them on, and use the boiled carrot you cut out with a straw to make cheeks by sticking them on with spaghetti.
- They're done!
- This version with picks is also cute.
