   Wrap a desired amount of rice with a plastic wrap and form 4 rice balls into the shape of a rain drop.

2. 2

   Put the two sides together it'll like a heart!

   The secret to make a nice heart shape is to form one of the rice balls a bit smaller than the other one.

   Then when you put them together, you set one end longer than the other one.

5. 5

   This way the bottom tip of the heart will look pointy.
