Cooking Instructions
- 1
Before starting, prepare about 100 g of cooked rice mixed with 1 teaspoon of ground black sesame seeds and a couple pinches of salt. Adjust the ingredients to your taste!
- 2
Round out the mixed sesame rice into a ball and put a circle of white rice on top. Wrap it all up in plastic wrap and adjust the shape. (Make the ears as well)
- 3
Here are the other parts: For the black soot sprite, make a mini rice ball with eyes. The eyes are little circles of cheese topped with round pieces of nori. The nose is a little piece of nori. For the whiskers I used fried pasta. For the belly hairs, pieces of nori.
- 4
I used these cutters to make the parts.
- 5
Put the large rice ball (body) in the bento box. Secure the ears with pasta. Stick on the parts.
- 6
It's a little round Totoro!

Here's how it looks in the bento.

You can also make totoro out of bread rolls like this.

Spiral Onigiri Rice Balls Spiral Onigiri Rice Balls
On a day when I was planning to make onigiri, I cut my hand with a vegetable slicer.Since I couldn't touch the rice with my hands, I decided to roll the ingredients and it was surprisingly good.-A tip is to roll tightly. If it's loose, the rice and ingredients will spill out when slicing.-Salt the rice well. Taste before rolling.-Another tip is to wet the knife after each slice to guarantee a clean cut.

Penguin Onigir Rice Balls Penguin Onigir Rice Balls
I thought of a way to make cute and easy penguins for bento lunchboxes.This is easy for charaben novices because all it involves is sticking cut-out facial features. The spaghetti strand used to attach the facial parts will soften by the time you're ready to eat, so you can eat it as-is. If you're going to eat it right away, cook or fry the noodles before use.
