I didn't took the step by step while making as this recipes was from 主厨Mei :) I took one picture before let the pastry go to the oven. Notice one different pastry? Haha...that was the cut out pastry so don't waste. There is more cut out balance pastry that I just mixed together and make smaller apple roses. (Picture can be view end of the post)

Bento#Sept03~Strawberry Onigiri Family

Today's theme lunch bento I made "Strawberry Onigiri Family" I've tried to made four strawberry to represent our family members but won't fit it all four!! Haha...Anyway, I put the pretty strawberry girl for my sweet girl ^_^

To made the strawberry, I mixed the rice with tomato ketchup and used cling wrap to shaped it :) For faces, I used circle cutter to cut out the cheese and freehand scissor cut out their hair except the face features, I used nori seaweed puncher ^_^ Lastly, I add black sesame seeds for the strawberry!

For side dishes, I made chicken salad mixed with 3 different colors capsicums. Cut the egg sheet as flower and add fish ball in the middle. Lastly, cut out checker apple :) I hope you will enjoy reading today's lunch bento. Cheers! 

Bento#May27~Strawberry Hello Kitty Head

 

Finally I've made strawberry onigiri that I always wanted to do ^_^ Instead of putting a girl face, I made Hello Kitty! Haha....can't helped it! Well, I just arranged whatever dishes that I've cooked for my family dinner. Not much choices in my freezer =_=" Looks like I need to go wet market tomorrow!!!

First, I shaped Hello Kitty onigiri using cling wrap and put aside. Next, mixed the rice with ketchup for strawberry head and shape it with cling wrap. In the middle try to pressed a hole so that HK onigiri can fits well in the middle part. Just use the cling wrap to avoid touching the rice or wears a plastic glove for combine the strawberry with HK. I used the cling wrap to do the makeover so that Strawberry HK Head looks natural ^_^

Before put the strawberry HK on the plate, I add one piece of plastic leave that I bought from bakery retail shop. Is very thin layer so it will easily stick on the onigiri. In this plate, I arranged french beans, potato, carrots, taiwanese sausages, kamaboko, spring roll, grapes and oranges.

Well, simple dinner meal and I hope you will like it ^_^ Cheers!
