Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove the shibazuke pickles from the pickling liquid and chop them finely. Set the liquid aside for later.
- 2
Mix the chopped pickles into the rice, and mold into barrel-shaped patties. If you moisten your hands with the shibazuke marinade before molding, it will give the rice extra flavor and dye it a subtle colour.
- 3
Layer a few sakurazuke pickles on top of one-another, and cut out cherry blossom petal shapes with scissors.
- 4
Place them in your bento box and you're done.
- 5
These are the ingredients I used this time.
