Ingredients
  

For the Onigiri
  • 1 cup Cooked rice Or cauliflower rice for keto
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 sheet Seaweed (nori)
For the Spooky Elements
  • 2 Sausages Or keto-friendly alternative
  • 4-5 Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp Tomato ketchup Or sugar-free alternative
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Dashi stock
  • 1 tsp Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Cabbage Shredded
  • 2 tbsp Frozen corn
  • 2 tbsp Green beans Chopped

Equipment

  • Knife
  • Scissors
  • Frying pan
  • Bento box
  • Tweezers

Method
 

  1. Cut the seaweed into desired shapes for decoration, such as eyes, mouths, or other spooky designs.
  2. Form the cooked rice (or cauliflower rice) into onigiri shapes. You can use a mold or shape them by hand.
  3. Slice the cabbage thinly.
  4. Cut the green beans into small, bite-sized pieces.
  5. In a frying pan, cook the corn and green beans until tender.
  6. Prepare the dashimaki egg roll. Whisk the egg with dashi stock and soy sauce. Cook in a thin layer in a rectangular pan, rolling it up as you go. Once cooked, slice into pieces.
  7. Cut each sausage in half lengthwise. Make a few small cuts on one end to create a finger-like appearance. Slice off the very tip of the end. Toast the sausages until cooked through.
  8. Use a small amount of tomato ketchup on the cut end of the sausage to attach a small, thinly sliced piece of cherry tomato as a fingernail.
  9. Arrange all the prepared components in your bento box. Carefully place the cut seaweed decorations onto the onigiri. Tweezers can be helpful for precise placement.
  10. Your Bento-Style Spooky Breakfast Box is ready to enjoy!
