Ladybug Onigiri Bento
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. Recipe by Meronpan mama

Cooking Instructions
- 1
After shaping a round rice ball with some cling film, wrap the rice ball with the red part of the imitation crab sticks and some nori seaweed.
- 2
Cut 2 small circles out of the sliced cheese to create the eyes. You can either use a skewer to cut them out, or punch them out with a fat straw. Make the pupils and spots with some circles punched out of a sheet of nori seaweed.
- 3
Stick all of the separate parts on to the ladybird to complete.
- 4
Try making some smiling ladybugs or packing in some 'friends' just to have some extra fun making them.

Seefor Okowa Steamed Sticky Rice Mixed With Hijiki, Umeboshi and Chirimen Jako.Depending on your preference, use plenty of yukari when you make rice balls. Adjust the amount to taste.
