Bento#87: Kitty Patty Bento
I had some marinated minced chicken in the fridge, so I decided to fix my kids a little kitty patty today. I added some egg yolk, corn flour and bread crumbs with the minced chicken marinated with soy sauce and pepper, then use a teddy bear mold to form the shape. I guess my mixture was too watery, so the shape didn’t come out nice when I released the meat onto the frying pan. I will try this again, probably with lesser egg yolk. When the patty is almost done, add in some ketchup and let it shimmer for awhile. My kids prefer to have some ketchup, so I coated the patties with it.

Here are the patties.
You can actually use them for burgers, but I was out of bread today. I added a duck pick to each patty, and continued with cutie details.

Ears, eyes and noses were cut from cheese and ham with this cutter.

I tried to make it looked like a cat. The ketchup helps to “hold” everything in place.

Add in some nori, and the kitty patties are done.
Here end results…

My gal’s Minnie lunch box with a kitty patty, a piece of corn and some blueberries. I think the patty is quite stuffing, so I didn’t pack a lot for them today.

This is my boy’s Mickey lunch box. This lunch box is pretty small, but sufficient for today’s meal.
Most of the time, I will refrigerate my kids’ bentos since they only come back to the office at about 5pm. But today, I will leave the lunch boxes in insulated bag, with an icepack so that the patties won’t be too cold and hard by late afternoon. That’s why I didn’t add in a lot of fruits, but just some blueberries. They should be able to stay fresh until my kids’ tea time.
