Setsubun Character Bento - Demon-Giri Rice Balls~

1. 1

   Using your favourite onigiri filling make the triangle-shaped onigiri rice balls.

2. 2

   Cut the nori seaweed into narrow rectangles and fold around the bottom of the onigiri.

3. 3

   Make the horns from boiled carrot and the facial features from nori seaweed.

4. 4

   (Cut them out out with either a small pair of scissors or a craft punch.)

5. 5

   Make the cheeks from imitation crab sticks (cut them out with a straw).

6. 6

   Stick the horns right into the onigiri.

7. 7

   Push them in far enough so that they don't fall back out.

8. 8

   Attach all of the parts to the onigiri and you're done.

9. 9

   This time I cut some very thin strips of nori seaweed and added them onto the horns to create a striped pattern.

10. 10

    Instead of making the hair with dried bonito flakes and soy sauce I think mince meat, tuna mayonnaise or scrambled egg would be cute too.

11. 11

    The hair may fall off when transferring the onigiri to a lunchbox so I recommend adding a dollop of mayonnaise at the base of the horn to stick the hair in place.
