Simple Bento with Triangular Onigiri Mold

I hardly pack rice for my kids as most of the bentos are meant for after school tea. Thus, most of my rice molds are kept in the box, and I hardly use them. But today, I decided to use one of the rice molds as a bread cutter, and I picked the triangular onigiri mold, which I bought from Daiso.


Tools for today’s speedy bento

It’s quite easy to cut the bread with the mold as the edges are rather sharp. After some simple decoration, here’s how the bentos looked like:


My boy’s onigiri sandwich bento, with mini cheese wieners and lots of cherries.

 


And my gal’s onigiri sandwiches, decorated as a chick. She will have papaya and kiwi, instead of cherry.

 

Coincidentally, I found a cute chick bento by R’s mama this morning. Do check it out! :)

    Annie, glad that you like it. :) Ya, I steamed the carrot so that it’s softer, pinned the lower triangular carrot with spaghetti strip, and placed another piece of carrot on the first piece of carrot.

    Thanks Ellena. :)

    Mengher, actually, this bento was made from bread, I used the mold as a cutter to cut out the shape. :)
    I guess u need to put a lot of rice in the mold before you close up and shape it. Then, maybe the rice ball will turn out firm and nice. :)
    Ya, thanks for the link!

    Hi! your blog is really nice! I really like the bentos that u hv made..They are so creative and cute..! By the way, for the punch u used to cut the seaweed for the facial expressions, are they craft punches for paper as well? Do you sterilise the craft punch first before you use it? How do you make sure it is clean? Do you just wash it with soap? Thanks!!

    Chloe, thanks for the comment. I washed them with detergent when I first got them, then I wash them once a while, like after a few punches. :P Just make sure that they are only be used for seaweed, but not paper or any craft. Make sure the punchers are totally dry before storage. :)

    SIG, thanks! LOL!
