step by step
Method
- Step 1
Cook the rice and egg
- Cook the rice and let it cool slightly so it can be shaped.
- Beat the egg with a pinch of salt and fry it in a lightly oiled pan into a thin omelette.
- Slice the omelette into thin strips and set aside.
- Step 2
Cook the chicken
- Stir-fry the chicken pieces in the pan until golden and cooked through.
- Add the soy sauce and sugar and cook until the sauce glazes the chicken.
- Step 3
Blanch the vegetables
- Boil the broccoli and carrot slices in salted water until just tender.
- Drain and cool them completely before packing.
- Step 4
Shape the Hello Kitty rice
- Shape the warm rice into a rounded cat head and press it into the bento box.
- Cut the nori into eyes and whiskers and place them on the rice.
- Cut a small bow from the cheese slice and add it beside the ear.
- Step 5
Fill and pack the bento
- Arrange the glazed chicken, omelette strips, broccoli, carrot and cherry tomatoes around the rice.
- Fill any gaps so the food does not shift during transport.
