Rilakkuma Meat Balls Bento
My boy requested meat balls and pasta yesterday, so I prepared a bigger portion and kept some away for today’s bento. My kids love pasta, and they are delighted to have pasta everyday, if possible. 
Besides that, I prepared some egg sheets too, by separating the yolk from egg white:
White and yellow egg sheets
Try to mix a tablespoon of corn starch (mixed with water) into your egg mixture so that the egg sheets are thicker and less likely to tear. You can freeze the egg sheets for next use.
This is what I did this morning:
I placed the spiral pasta and some tomato sauce in aluminum cups. I normally use Prego Organic Tomato and Basil Italian sauce.
Top the pasta with more tomato sauce and add a small meat ball in it.
I prepared the meat balls with minced pork and chopped onions, and mixed the meat with an egg, some soy sauce and corn starch to make it more consistent for patty or easy to form into meat balls. Then, I fried the balls until golden brown, served some for dinner last night and refrigerated a few balls away for today’s bento.
I topped the meat balls with a piece of smoked cheese. I added some mixed veggie and starry cheese on the sauce too.
After that, I baked the pasta in the oven for 10 minutes, and 5 minutes before they were done, I placed some meat balls on the baking tray to heat them up as well. The extra meat balls would be used for decoration.
Here are the reheated meat balls. I purposely formed them in 2 different sizes.
I used tiny spaghetti strips to join the smaller meat balls to the bigger ones.
Then, I packed everything in the bento boxes and here they are before decoration:
I added the egg sheets as Rilakkuma’s nose and ears.
Then, I proceeded to add some nori, punched with the following punchers:

So, here is the end result:
My gal’s bento, with baked pasta, Rilakkuma meat balls, and 2 strawberries.
And this bento belongs to my boy. 
Let’s not forget about Kiiroitori, which was initially the piece of smoked cheese on pasta.

Today’s bento meal is slightly heavier because my kids are more occupied on Wednesdays.

Shi-chan, you can use Photostop or any photo editing software to add the watermark.
Lisa, I used very low heat when frying the egg sheets. And when it’s like cooked at the bottom and easy to lift up, flip it over, and turn off the fire. The pan should be hot enough to cook the other surface. You can cover the pan, if you have a glass lid and leave it to cook. I thought about taking photos yesterday but I was too busy with my kids and preparing dinner.
Annie and Rachel, thanks!
