Little Miss Bento on Instagram: "🐱Meowwww~~ 🐾 Kitty Cat Inari Sushi today. Wanted something quick this morning and made these delightful little bites. I got the idea for the Rilakkuma Inari from Anna The Red. She's a marvelous bento and plushie maker.
Steps to make Bento with Rilakkuma Inari Sushi:
- Tightly pack about 1 teaspoon of sushi rice into the corners of the inari age.
- Make a barrel shape with remaining rice using plastic wrap and fill the inari age from Step 1 with it. Adjust the size of the rice ball to the size of the pouch.
- Wrap it with plastic wrap and adjust the shape.
- Cut out the cheese slice with an oval shape cutter. Secure it to the mouth part with a piece of pasta.
- Cut the ears out using the same cutter (sliced cheese is used in the photo, but I recommend cutting out of usuyaki tamago).
- Add the parts made with nori seaweed and it is done.
- To make Korilakkuma: Follow the instructions of the Rirakkuma until Step 3.
- Fold the top layer of inari age in. Leave the back side as it is.
- Shape a barrel-shaped rice ball using plastic wrap and fill it into the inari age.
- Add the face in the same manner as the Rirakkuma and it is done.
- A Christmas version with a reindeer cap and wiener sausage Santa hat.
- Cut the red wiener sausage to make the Santa hat and wrap it with a thinly cut cheese strip around it. Cut out a round ball out of a cheese ball to make the pompom.
- The reindeer's antlers can be made by cutting smoked cheese and securing it with a piece of pasta. You can also use wiener sausage or a piece of snacking kombu.
- If you are only making Rirakkuma, it will be cute to change the facial expressions. You can make a Kiiroitori (yellow bird) with a tamagoyaki.
- If you do not own a nori punch, you could stack 2 pieces of nori and mark a circle with a pencil cap or a round mold.
- Use small scissors such as eyebrow scissors to cut neatly along the crease.
- Other tools such as tweezers, various cutters for charaben are convenient to have around.
