Wee Panda Onigiri Charaben

There are kits on sale for preparing panda onigiri, but I thought you could make them by cutting out nori seaweed on your own, so I tried it out.
You can make different sized mother-child pandas.
Cut the nori seaweed to fit the onigiri. The onigiri should be the right size to fit in the bento box.
I used the small curved eyebrow scissors that are sold in 100 yen shops. You can use regular scissors too! Recipe by Keitandesuyo

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Form warm cooked rice into cylinder shaped onigiri using plastic wrap.
- 2
Fold a piece of nori seaweed in half and cut out the small pieces. The eyes are egg-shaped; the ears are half-moon shapes, and the small circles make the nose and tail.
- 3
Make a long piece of nori seaweed too (You don't have to cut this with scissors; just fold and tear the nori and it will still look quite cute).
- 4
Stick the nori pieces on the onigiri to finish.

Using a vegetable peeler, I made a rose from kamaboko and placed it on an onigiri.Use daikon radish sprouts or mitsuba instead of the snow peas. Or you can just omit them.
