Bento Mania #29
I have been asked by bloggers if we can use local rice to substitute Japanese rice. To me, if I intend to make sushi, I will opt for Japanese rice as they are more sticky compared to our local rice. But not necessarily. It all depending on how firm you roll or press down the rice.
For this bento, I used the local rice and since the rice is less sticky, all I need to do is press them down a little harder so that they are firmed in the rice mould and won’t break when I removed the mould. I used bits and pieces of seaweed from furikaki (rice flavouring) for the facial details.
From left to right: Rice, alphabet chicken nuggets, scramble egg with sliced button mushrooms and YAY, it’s the fruits season now. The rambutans was given to me by my colleague. Bless her kind soul.
