Bento Mania #7
To me, I would prefer to use a sushi mould rather than the bamboo mat. The reason is, with the mould I can never get the shape wrong as I am very fussy and particular to make sure all of them are in the same size.
You just need to scoop your vinegar rice in the mould and press them down.
Transfer rolled up rice to the nori sheet and viola, all done under a minute.
It is important to cut up the sushi with a very sharp knife to avoid any breaking.
All these are my children’s favourite food. They had edamame, pearl corn that we bought from Cameron Highlands and the sushi. Oh, just incase if you are admiring the flower, good thing is, it is edible! They are marshmallow actually. lol

Lovely lovely. 🙂 Where to get fresh edamame in Klang Valley? Can get at any supermarket?
By the way isn’t sashimi means raw food? Should be sushi mold not sashimi mold right?? (sorry ah..sam pat here)
The Queen say: Ah, yes. You are right. Sashimi means the raw fish component and sushi is the vinegar rice regardless of the toppings or filling.The sampat one should be me now. hehe…
