Ingredients

  1. 1/2bowl Plain cooked rice
  2. 1whatever you like Rice ball filling
  3. 1Nori seaweed
  4. 1Carrot
  5. 1Fish sausage
  6. 1Cheese
  7. 1Salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut out 4 triangles, 2 eyebrows, 2 eyes and a mouth from the nori seaweed. If you fold the nori seaweed in half and then cut out the triangles, eyebrows and eyes then everything will be nice and symmetrical. Use a small pair of scissors.

  2. 2

    After cutting off a thin round slice of carrot, boil it and then use a circular cutter to cut out a nose. You can make the shine on the nose from a slice of cheese.

  3. 3

    Thinly slice the fish sausage and cut out 2 cheeks with a straw. (You can also use the carrot to create some cheeks if you wish.)

  4. 4

    Make the onigiri rice ball. Once it's cooled, stick on all of the parts except for the cheese and wrap tightly in cling film to help secure everything together.

  5. 5

    Unwrap the cling film and add the rice ball to a bento box. Lastly, add the cheese on top of the nose to finish!!

  6. 6

    You can use the same ingredients (minus 2 triangles) to make Komusubiman (Riceballman Jr.) as well if you round the rice ball off a bit more.

  7. 7

    I made these by replacing the noses with a slice of sausage and a dollop of mayonnaise and the cheeks with ketchup Feel free to substitute some parts with whatever ingredients you have lying around!
