Easy Elmo Character Bento

This was for my husband's bento.

If you use ketchup to color the rice, don't use too much or it will become sticky. Add a little bit at a time.
If you don't have a cutter for Elmo's nose, it's soft enough so that you can use a toothpick or scissors to shape it.
It's real cute if you make the eyes and the mouth large! Recipe by syo_ya

Ingredients

  1. 1White rice
  2. 1Deco-furi in red and purple (you can also use ketchup and yukari instead)
  3. 1Sliced cheese
  4. 1Nori seaweed
  5. 1Carrot

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Use your desired amount of rice and mix with the deco-furi to add color. If you don't have deco-furi, you can use ketchup or yukari furikake instead.

  2. 2

    Wrap up the two different colored clumps of rice in plastic wrap and shape into balls.

  3. 3

    Cut a slice of carrot about 2.3 mm thick. Remove the skin, then put into a plastic bag with a bit of water and heat in the microwave for one minute. Then, when it softens, you can cut it!

  4. 4

    Use a tooth pick to cut 4 circles out of cheese for the eyes. Use scissors to cut out 4 smaller circles for the eyes. Cut out 2 mouths as well.

  5. 5

    Check the sizes over the plastic wrap.

  6. 6

    Remove the plastic wrap and put the rice balls into your bento box. Add the face parts and it's done! Put your side dishes around the rice balls for a colorfully cute bento!

  7. 7
