HOW TO MAKE SMILEY RICEBALL (ONIGIRI) & BENTO FLOWERS

Hello dear Bento-fans, in this video I'm using some bento tools to make the smiley riceballs. Tools like nori puncher and rounded rice mould are quite helpful, but if you don't have these you can also use your hands and some cling wrap to shape the rice. As for the face, just use a scissors to cut the seaweed (you can see how I did it from my previous videos).

Bento Basics 2 - Basic equiptments you will need for packing a bento box meal

There are a LOT of cute and adorable bento gears out there. Therefore it is very easy to get sidetracked to buy the things that you don't really need *always happens to me*. Anyway, to help you out, here's a list of what I think is the the most common, basic and practical equiptments that you'll really need for making your own bento...

Bento Basics 1 - What is a bento?

Bento also called Obento (sometimes spelled Bentou)  is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. With the influence of Japanese culture, through anime, manga, J-drama and etc the trend of making bento is becoming more and more popular around the world.
If you always watch anime, you will notice that there are many reasons, occasions or excuses for preparing a good bento box lunch...

  • School lunch box
  • Is a must food during picnics, outings and sakura viewing (Ohanami)
  • Foor for travelling (in a bus or train)
  • And the most popular reason is for expressing love (girl x guy thing).

Never under estimate the power of bento...




Whatever the reason is, today the bento making craze is everywhere. Everyone wants to make their own bento box meal and show off their creativity. It's kawaii (cute) and fun to make, delicious to eat, cheaper than takeouts and can be healthier too (depending on what you put in your bento ofcourse).

Here is a good video from Howcast to give you the concept of bento making...
