I had quite a bit of leftover rice from the bento workshop that I conducted, so I knew it was time to make some bento!
As I had to cook the rice in a huge batch for the class, this time I used some icing colours to prepare the rice and coloured them yellow. You can use my previous methods of mixing egg yolk, or egg soboro, or yellow deco furifake instead to avoid using edible colours.
Yellow rice~~ Pom Pom Purin? Gudetama? Winnie the Pooh?
Ended up making Winnie the Pooh bento :)
Winnie the Pooh is happily hugging a small jar of honey :) hahah are you happy like him too?
For this bento, I made a more kawaii baby version of Winnie the Pooh. And here are the ingredients
– Yellow rice (Japanese rice cooked with some icing colour mixed with the water) *for head, body, limbs
– Seaweed *for facial features
– Imitation crabstick (red layer only) *for tee-shirt
– Mini sausage & slice chedder cheese *for hunny jar
Side dishes for my Winnie the Pooh bento included baked soy honey chicken wings, blanched broccoli, carrot and lettuce.
Packed my bento in one of my favourite boxes from Noda Horo Japan.
