1
Cut off 1/3 of the sausage.
-
2
On the rounded section that you just cut off, create a slice halfway deep, off to the right.
-
3
Using a cutter a bit smaller than the rounded head section, press down about 5 mm through the sausage.
-
4
It should look like this with a clear line pressed through the sausage.
-
5
Use a knife to cut out the oval from the head piece.
-
6
When it's finished, you won't be able to see the inside, so it's okay if appears crumbly.
-
7
Using the other part of the sausage from Step 1, cut out two small circles with a cutter.
-
8
Use pasta to secure the circles into the slit you created in Step 2 to form the ears.
-
9
Using an oval cutter, cut out two pieces from the egg crepe.
-
10
Cut off a little bit of the bottoms.
-
11
Use pasta to secure the egg crepe pieces to the ears from Step 9.
-
12
Use the oval cutter you used to create the face hole to cut out an oval from the sliced cheese.
-
13
Set the oval from Step 11 into the well of the sausage.
-
14
Cut out two circles from the remaining bits of sliced cheese.
-
15
Use short pieces of pasta to attach the circles to the face.
-
16
(Actually, you can't see the pasta in the picture.
-
17
If you push the pasta down so it doesn't poke out, you won't notice it.)
-
18
Use nori to cut out the facial features, stick them on, and it's done!
