Easy Heart-Shaped Rice Ball Bento for Valentine's Day step by step

  1. Wrap a desired amount of rice with a plastic wrap and form 4 rice balls into the shape of a rain drop..

  2. Put the two sides together itll like a heart! The secret to make a nice heart shape is to form one of the rice balls a bit smaller than the other one. Then when you put them together, you set one end longer than the other one. This way the bottom tip of the heart will look pointy..

  3. Place the heart on a nori seaweed that is slightly bigger than the heart and cut into the edges of the nori seaweed..

  4. Wrap the hearts with a plastic wrap and let the nori seaweed stick to the rice. They look even cuter when they are different sizes..

  5. Decorate it with ham or any other ingredients you like..

  6. Pack the hearts into your bento box and youre done!.

You can also mold rice this way (actually, I've found rice to be easier to mold than cous cous.).

A cookie cutter will also mold rice.

My last easy idea is actually a dessert bento.

I used a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out angel food cake.

And of course I didn't budget my time well enough, so was late getting Bug to school.
