Little Miss Bento

Love is in the air~~ Baymax Bento!

Here is a super cute Baymax bento, Baymax is giving Hiro-san a big big bear hug!

Do you want a hug too?

So I decided to make this Valentine’s Day Baymax bento in celebration of unconditional love.

I know many of you have been asking me to teach a Valentine’s Day Bento workshop but it has been really busy lately leading up to CNY. But don’t worry, I have two surprises for you!

This Valentine’s Day Baymax bento tutorial as well as a festive giveaway by Scotchâ„¢ for 3 lucky winners!!

I love Baymax! Do you too??

Today’s Baymax bento design was inspired by the Japanese movie poster of Big Hero 6 that depicts Baymax hugging Hiro-san in his arms.

I received a very special gift from 3M Scotchâ„¢ recently to welcome the festive season – their latest cutters: Scotchâ„¢ Titanium Kitchen Scissors and the Scotchâ„¢  Portable Food Scissors.

Together with the gift set, came a recipe to prepare a festive foodart for Lunar New Year as well as the required food ingredients.

I did a little spin on this and created my own creation.

Bento Tutorial – Baymax Bento

Recipe steps

1. Sketch the design of Hiro-san on baking sheet. Cut the parts using  Scotch™ Titanium Kitchen Scissors.

2. Cut a slit on the crabstick and remove the white parts, leaving just the red layer. Soak a small square of kombu seaweed.

3. Place the baking sheet cut outs on the different food ingredients. Follow the outlines and cut using  Scotch™ Titanium Kitchen Scissors. Over here I used chicken ham for the head/skin part, kombu seaweed for the hair and red crabstick for the clothes.

4. Place some cooked Japanese rice on heat resistant cling wrap. Tighten and shape into a compact round ovalish rice ball. This is for Baymax’s head.

5. Similarly, shape a triangle for Baymax’s body.

7. Lay the ham, crabstick and kombu parts on the triangular rice-ball and then arrange rice at both sides and shape into the arms of Baymax.

8. Prepare your bento box, line with some wax paper.

9. Transfer the rice-ball and the parts into the bento box.

 

10. Cover with cling wrap gently and prepare your side dishes. I used the side dish recipe in the kit provided by  Scotch™ to make festive tangerine peel chicken.

11. For easy preparation and packing into the bento box, I cut the chicken thigh meat into smaller cubes before cooking.

12. To make the ham flower, I fold the slice ham into half gently and cut small slits along the side.

13. Roll it up tightly and voila – ham flower is done!

14. Some of the remaining items include making cut outs using the pink kamaboko.

15. I detached the  Scotch™ Titanium Kitchen Scissors  and the single blade actually acts as a knife.

16. I cut the pink layer of the kamaboko and used the heart shape cutter to make the shapes. You can also use other cutters as preferred.

17. Need to slice the cherry tomatoes? Similarly, I used the Scotch™ Titanium Kitchen Scissors to do the job.

18. After all these is done, I simply packed the sides into the bento box.

19. Lastly is to complete the characters and their features. Using some seaweed, I cut the circles and line for Baymax. Using edible pen, I draw on the features for Hiro-san.

And this kawaii Baymax Valentine’s Day Bento is done!!
