I was so happy when I realized my daughter is old enough to enjoy sushi rice. I thought, if I make these cute temarizushi, maybe she'll eat even more.

Steps

1

Cut decorative pieces out of the carrot slices and put on a plate. Sprinkle salt and water, and microwave for 30 seconds.
2

Cut the cucumber and place on the plate with the carrot slices (the carrot and cucumber slices should be about 2 mm thick.) These are used to decorate the sushi.
3

Cut out eyes, mouth, and hair out of the nori seaweed. Use a straw to cut noses out of the ham slice.
4

Mix the vinegar with the hot rice to make sushi rice. Use plastic wrap to squeeze the sushi rice into 35 g portions. Add whatever rice seasonings you like to the rice before forming the balls. You can make colored rice by using aonori and sakura denbu (pink fish flakes).
5

Now you have all the parts to make the sushi balls. Remove the plastic wrap from the rice and decorate the balls. Sprinkle a little sakura denbu on the surface for the cheeks to add a finishing touch.
6

Using a pair of tweezers and holding down the balls with plastic wrap makes this easier.
7

Wrap the decorated balls with plastic wrap again to make temarizushi onigiri (rice balls)!
8

Make little carrot flower temarizushi with leftover rice!
