Barrel Animals Character Bento
Barrel Cats Character BentoAfter I made the barrel cat bento, I though that it might be possible to make other 'barrel animals' and so gave it a go.
Press on the nori 'faces' after the rice has cooled (they'll shrink if you stick them on while the rice is still hot).
Be creative and have fun coming up with your own cute designs.
Use a nori punch cutter if you have one. This will make preparing the faces a lot easier. Recipe by annnnn

Jack O'Lantern Character Bento Jack O'Lantern Character Bento
It's almost Halloween! I can hardly wait to make this bento.It's better to make ketchup rice with warm rice so you can shape it without it crumbling. If you don't have any cheese, just use the nori for the eyes and mouth. (Affix the nori parts after the rice has cooled). Ketchup rice tends to stain the bento box, so we place an antibacterial sheet (or plastic wrap) under the rice. Recipe by seiji0609 -
Character Bento - Jewel Pet Ruby Character Bento - Jewel Pet Ruby
This was my child's request!I think it looks more like the character with the ears slightly curved rather than straight. The eyes are a bit of a pain, but once you get used to making them you can make other Jewel Pet characters. It's also okay if you leave out the ham in the eyes. For 1 child serving.
