Hina Doll's Day Character Bento Rice Balls
- 1 Ham
- 1 use as much (to taste) Hot cooked white rice
- 1 Sugar snap peas
- 1 dash Ham
- 1 dash Nori seaweed
- I used the ham in the picture this time.
- Slice the ham into your preferred thickness.
- Cut the nori seaweed into a circle matching the size of the ham.
- Cut the nori seaweed into half to make the hair for the dolls.
- Cut out the ham with a flower shaped cookie cutter.
- You can also use another pink ingredient such as kamaboko.
- Cut off the bottom of the flower shaped ham as in the picture.
- With the end of a straw, make holes to make the empress's crown.
- You can also cut the ham into a triangle and use it as her fan.
- Cut out the cooked sugar snap peas to make the emperor's crown and scepter.
- Cut out another piece just like in the picture, and join the two parts to make a crown.
- You can use the snow peas or green pepper as well.
- The one on the right will be the empress and the one on the left will be the emperor.
- Make two round rice balls and place them in cupcake liners.
- Assemble the parts on the rice balls.
- Cut out the eyes, noses and mouths from the nori seaweed and finish making the faces.
- I added cheeks that are made with the cutout red wiener sausage.
- I used this nori punch to make the parts for the faces, and scissors to make the hair.
- To make this even easier, you can simply place the faces onto a bed of rice.
