Bentolicious #107
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend! Started the new week with this little chicks bento. I made flower shaped onigiri stuffed with salmon chunks then put small egg rice ball on the top and decorated it. This morning, I used my rice mold shown below to make the small egg rice ball. Rice mold is quick and easy to use. Save a lot of time for bento making in the morning :) But you can always mold your rice with your hands as the ball shapes it's also pretty much easy to make.
In the other box : cherry tomato, steamed broccoli, half hard boiled egg, carrot & chicken ham, and tofu fish cakes.
Don't forget to join July's BOMB. You can read more from Debra's blog : Hapa Bento. This month theme is picnic bento.

@Lyndsey : Thanks a lot Lyndsey! I had this mold last year. And yes, this mold is pretty handy :)

those chicks are so sweet and adorable, and i love the idea of a mini-onigiri topper for the main (flower-shaped) onigiri. i have more of your posts to catch up on lia and they all make me smile!

This is wonderful Lia! Can you explain how you make egg rice?

@megan : Thanks a lot Megan! Glad to have you back again Megan. Miss your bento a lot :)

@Sonoma Bento : Thanks a lot! For the egg rice, the method is same like when you cook your fried rice. Choose fresh egg and beat the egg until even. Put a little bit of oil on the pan then put cooked rice. While you fry the rice, pour the beaten egg and mixed it with rice. Mixed it quickly so you can get the even yellow over the rice. Hope this can help :)

Cheep cheep! Cute chicks . Love the molds too! It's so handy.

@anna2003 : Thanks a lot Karen!

Hi Lia, where did you get the rice mold? never seen like that one before ^_^ .. great bento as always!

@Just a MOM : Thanks a lot Lin! Got that from a friend in Japan. But saw that before on ebay or perhaps you can check on www.bentocraft.com (Malaysia) or www.obentohouse.multiply.com (Indonesia).

Thankx, lol newbie here. Where would I get said rice recipe for rice ball making? I make spanish rice alot, and the rice is sticky in general well our white one is more sticky. Where are there cool recipes, or maybe I have not gone that far yet, I am still searching lol.
