Since soot sprite onigiri are easy to prepare, I tried making some for adults as well.Wrap the onigiri with nori seaweed while it's still warm. Cover with plastic wrap so that the nori seaweed will stick to the rice. Then you can make a nice round ball. Recipe by Mikku mama

Children of all ages love Totoro. My daughters too have loved Totoro ever since watching it. So, I put time and effort into creating this charaben for sports festival day.I've also uploaded an easy charaben recipe for Catbus (a character from Totoro). Please check it out too.If you wrap the rice balls wrapped up with nori seaweed with plastic wrap, the seaweed will fit more smoothly around the rice balls.If you pack cherry tomatoes or broccoli florets into the bento, the bento will be more colorful and it might bring more of a forest-like feeling to the bento....All there's left to do, is to pack your choice of side dishes.

This is an original recipe that I use for my kid's bento boxes. If you don't have any sliced cheese, then feel free to use the white part of the imitation crab stick. Just use whatever you have.Tips:-Adjust the amount of rice used to how much your child will eat in the bento.-If the nori seaweed or cheese looks like it's going to come off, fix it in place with a dab of mayonnaise or honey.-If you put the onigiri rice ball in a bento cup or small muffin cup after completing Step 1, it will be easier to transfer into the bento box.

My husband likes the anime One Piece but can't eat sakura denbu, so I made this with ketchup rice.When the face part of the rice is covered in cling film, draw on the parts of the face to make it easier to decide how to cut the nori.
