Pokemon "Pokeball" Bento

1. 1

   Wrap the rice in cling film and form into a ball shape.

2. 2

   It's better to make the bottom a little flat, like a pork bun, so that it doesn't roll around.

3. 3

   Using a knife, open up the crabstick and very carefully slice off the red part.

4. 4

   Lay this red part of the crabstick over the rice.

5. 5

   The thinner it is cut the more easily it will form it's shape around the rice.

6. 6

   Cut a circular piece of kamaboko (the white part of the imitation crab).

7. 7

   If you use something around your kitchen as a puncher or a template you can cut a nice and neat circle.

8. 8

   This time I used the lid of one of the seasoning containers for bento boxes.

9. 9

   Place this piece of kamaboko over a sheet of nori and cut a slightly larger circle around it.

10. 10

    Lay a thin strip of nori seaweed across the center of the pokeball and place on the button that was made in Step 4 to complete.
