Ingredients for Hello Kitty

3 tbsp Japanese cooked rice
4 tsp salmon
1 tsp chopped onions
1 slice of carrot (steamed)
I sheet of nori (seaweed)
1 piece of corn
1 slice of red capiscum
3 cocktail sausages (cooked)
½ tsp extra-virgin olive oil
½ tsp mayonnaise
½ tsp wasabi paste
1 tsp salt water
1 sheet of cling wrap

Cooking method for Hello Kitty

1. Steam salmon and remove bones. Mix salmon with onion and wasabi.

2) Using fingers, spread some salt water onto cling wrap. Put 2 tbsp of rice onto palm and top with salmon mixture (leave some fish for the ears).

3) Add another tbsp of rice to cover and roll into an oval shape. Next, make the ears by using rice and salmon mixture and mould into 2 triangular shapes. Attach firmly to the head.

4) Steam carrots and corn. Cut carrots into flower shapes and capsicum into ribbons. Make the eyes and whiskers using nori. Make about 3 slits on top of the sausages – they’ll open up nicely when steamed. Start decorating your Kitty face.

5) Place your finished product onto a lunch box. Add sausages and insert cocktail sticks. Beautify it with your carrot flower & surround the onigiri with green sushi grass sheets!
