   ["The amount of rice you need is 150-160 g, or a little less than one large, loosely-packed rice bowl.", "For reference, 1 rice cooker cup worth of cooked rice usually weighs around 350 g.", "For each 160 g of rice, mix in 1/4 teaspoon of salt.", "I'm using 4 bowls of rice, which will fill one large or two medium bento boxes, so I'm adding 1 teaspoon salt.", "Pack some of the rice into the bento box.", "Don't make a right angle between the edge of the rice and the bottom of the bento.", "The edge of the layer of rice should be slanted to make the stripe effect look better.", "Slice each strip of nori seaweed to the length of the outer edge of the rice.", "If the strips are too short, just add an extra piece to the end.", "Keep on packing in layers of rice, followed by strips of seaweed.", "Keep pressing the mixture away from you to secure everything in place and achieve a more defined pattern.", "The pink in the bento is ""Cooked Tarako in the Microwave""."]
