Hina Doll's Day Character Bento Rice Balls
I made this bento box for my daughter.
She requested the "Hina doll bento," so I made the faces only, using whatever I had in my refrigerator.
If you think making the fan or crown is too much work, you can use a decorative food pick.
It will be even easier. Recipe by sky_s0417

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I used the ham in the picture this time.
- 2
Slice the ham into your preferred thickness.
- 3
Cut the nori seaweed into a circle matching the size of the ham.
- 4
Cut the nori seaweed into half to make the hair for the dolls.
- 5
Cut out the ham with a flower shaped cookie cutter. You can also use another pink ingredient such as kamaboko.
- 6
Cut off the bottom of the flower shaped ham as in the picture. With the end of a straw, make holes to make the empress's crown. You can also cut the ham into a triangle and use it as her fan.
- 7
Cut out the cooked sugar snap peas to make the emperor's crown and scepter.
- 8
Cut out another piece just like in the picture, and join the two parts to make a crown. You can use the snow peas or green pepper as well.
- 9
The one on the right will be the empress and the one on the left will be the emperor.
- 10
Make two round rice balls and place them in cupcake liners.
- 11
Assemble the parts on the rice balls. Cut out the eyes, noses and mouths from the nori seaweed and finish making the faces. I added cheeks that are made with the cutout red wiener sausage.
- 12
I used this nori punch to make the parts for the faces, and scissors to make the hair.
- 13
To make this even easier, you can simply place the faces onto a bed of rice.
