Mr. Cow/Horse Bento

 

Making a cow or horse face bento is very easy, what we need is a pooh head bento box and main ingredients are sausage, quail egg and broccoli.

 

1.       First we need to put some broccoli at the ear and fringe area, so that it will be easily recognize it as a cow or horse face. Then put in any dishes you like in other part like what you see in the picture.

2.       Use scissors to cut the seaweed into round shape to make eyes and nose.  If you have a seaweed puncher, then it will be more easier. Fold the seaweed into half and cut out the round shape, so that it will be same size.

3.       Hard boiled the quail egg and slice it into small pieces to make the egg of cow or horse like what you see the picture. Then cut the sausage into oval shape to make it ear of cow or horse. If you want to make it cow bento, then you need to cut the sausage into ring shape to put it at the cow nose.

4.       You can always cut out different shape of seaweed to have different expression.

5.       You The first picture is cow,2nd is horse. You can also add in ribbon to make is a female cow or horse, or add egg glasses to represent a father cow/ horse.

Making sushi with sushi maker

Products Intro/Reviews

It has been a long time I have promised some friends that I am going to demonstrate how to use this sushi maker.  I am really sorry for my laziness. Finally it is here. But the outcome is not as nice as the picture because I do not have good hand to make those cute things. I believe you all will make better than me.

Since making different shaped of sushi need some patient and time, therefore I just demonstrate the simple way.  Hope that you will know how to use after seeing the step by step photos below.  I wish to video it down, so that it will more understandable, unfortunately my dc with video function has broken.

First let me tell you what is inside this set of sushi maker.

You can see it from the picture, it contain one main body of sushi maker, 1 recipe stand, 6 recipes card with total of 12 recipes. 1 rice scoop, 1 clipper, and the yellow one is the mould to change the shape of your sushi rice to different eg. heart shaped. And plastic sheet, which serve like a sushi mat.

First you need to put in the plastic to the sushi maker.  From picture 2 you can see at the side of sushi maker it is written with L,M and S, this is the size of the sushi you want to make, if you want to make Large sushi, you put the stick (see picture 4 blue circle) at L, medium sushi put at M.

Picture 4 show you the right position of where the stick should put.  After you have put your stick and plastic at the right place and decided which size of sushi you want to make, then you follow picture 3.

In picture 3, there is a button, you push up the button and drag the top part of the sushi maker and become like picture 4.

Put sushi rice at the place shown on picture 5, then pull up the button again, but this time push in the top part of sushi maker and it will close up the sushi like picture 6.

Cut the right size of seaweed according to the chart show at the back of the box. Roll in the seaweed and once again push up the button and drag out the top part of sushi maker and your sushi is done.

If you wish to have cucumber and other ingredient in the sushi, after put in sushi rice you add in cucumber and other ingredients you like then put rice on top to cover up, then only you push in top part of sushi maker, roll in seaweed and drag out the top of sushi maker.

Below showing more advance sushi with heart shaped at the middle.

To make a sushi with heart shaped at the middle, first we need to make the heart shaped sushi first.

First we make the medium size of sushi like what you have learned above, after that put the medium size sushi into the mould as shown above and you will have a heart shaped sushi.

Next we need to put the heart shape sushi at the center of normal sushi, repeat the same step of 5,6,7,8 but this time put the sushi size to L. And remember to put the heart shape sushi you have made at the middle of sushi rice.

I hope you can understand the step by step picture and instruction above.  Above is the basic concept of using the sushi maker, if you understand the basic concept then you should be no problem making other sushi with grapes,bear or other pictures.  The heart shape I have make is not that obvious this is because I do not put enough sushi rice.

If you still have any questions, feel free to let me know.  I will try my best to help you understand how to use this sushi maker.

Have fun!

Your Own Design Pancake 自己设计的鬆饼

Others

Making your very own design of pancake is very easy, you just need to have sauces pen. If you think your drawing is not nice enough, you can try to use a stencil and draw the picture on your pancake.

Below is the step by step pictures showing how to have your own design pancake.  Here I am using the pancake mixer which you can get it from any supermarket.

The doraemon I am using the doraemon stencil, unfortunately I have cook for too long and it turn so black, I am too lazy to make the second doraemon therefore I draw heart and smiley face.

When using stencil, remember to apply a layer of oil on the stencil otherwise the mixer will stick on the stencil.  Turn off the gas first while you draw the picture of the stencil, when done take out the stencil then only you turn on the flame.  If you still have any questions feel free to let me know.

Simple Bento for Toddler

Bento

Making a bento not necessary to be very fancy as those Japanese housewife did, as we do not have the time to make it so fancy, therefore tools are very useful to decorate your bento box.  Here I have use the tomica moss ring to cut our the bread and toast it in a oven, then apply any jam you like.  Here I have use 2 types of food picks, one is the music notes picks and another one is the cute bento picks.   I also have used rub a dub dub food divider to make the bento box looks more colorful and cute.

Hope you all like this simple bento.

Making your own strawberry jam is very easy and more healthy to eat. Because does not contain any preservative and you can handle your own sweetness.

 

Ingredient we need are as below

 

200g fresh strawberry

5.       Stir again and heat for any 2 minutes.

6.       You will see some bubble on top, remove the bubble and place it till cool.

8.       Cover the lid and store it in the fridge.

 

If you do not have microwave, you can cook the jam using the pan. Beside strawberry, you can also replace it with pineapple, orange, or other fruits.

The lunch box I am using here is the melody lunch box 2 in a set.  It is very convenience to use.  It can only use to store food and put in fridge. Beside this model there are also twin star.

 

材料

3.盖上盖子,微波2分钟
4.盖子拿掉充分拌匀,继续加热3分钟
5.取出再搅拌匀,再加热2分钟
6.5的时候会有小泡泡,而且看起来黏黏的了,把泡泡捞掉放凉ok

完全冷却的时候,果胶会让整体变黏哦
盖上盖子冰到冰箱就好了

这里我所用的是melody的保鲜盒，可以微波，连盖也可以微波，非常的方便，一套有2个，除了这个还有twin star的。

Snoopy Bean Curd

Others,

Out of ideas what to cook? This is the dish what I usually make when I have too busy, the ingredient you need is bean curd (tauhu) and seaweed sprinkle.  You can steam the bean curd until hot, I usually put into microwave for 8 mins (Lazy way), after that just have to sprinkle some seaweed on top, that’s it.  This time I am using the snoopy seaweed sprinkle, it is so cute and my kid love it so much, can’t believe she eat more than usual.

The snoopy seaweed sprinkle come with 3 flavours, egg, chicken and vegetable. The fun thing is each individual package is written with vocabulary.  Therefore you can enjoy your meal at the same time teach your kid with new vocabulary.

The best thing is it is low in calories and full of nutrition.  Beside sprinkle on bean curd, you can also sprinkle on rice.  Hope you all enjoy!
