Today I made a Bunny & Little Chick Easter Egg Bento!
Hehe, can you spot the ‘easter egg’ rice ball in this bento? hmm... does the little chick look like a baby ducky? OOps :P
The ingredients for the characters were
Bunny (mashed potato, pink icing coloring, seaweed)
Little Chick (mashed potato, yellow and red icing coloring, seaweed)
Easter Egg (rice, pink sushi mix, flower furikake chips)
The bento side dishes were mapo tofu, sweet peas, cucumber, edamame beans and lettuce.

ひよこちゃん（マッシュポテト、海苔）

Bunny and Little Chick characters in this bento were made from mashed potato.
Some of you who follow my blog would know that I have made several mashed potato kyarabens.
It is a fun food ingredient as it almost feels like playing with dough that can be easily moulded into the different shapes for your characters. In addition, mashed potato is very forgiving, if you make a mistake or accidentally make a fingernail mark, just smoothen it out and re-shape it as you work.

Tips for using mashed potato for your character bento
マッシュポテトを使い方のポイントは見てみてください。
マッシュポテトを使い方のポイントは見てみてください。
- Dice up with mashed potato and steam it. The dicing helps it to cook faster.
- Ensure that the potato mash is smooth without chunks of potatoes (I usually use a potato masher to help me).
- Use gel or icing food colors when adding colors, this avoids adding too much moisture into your potato mash, making it hard to handle later on.
- Use toothpick to add your icing food colors, little by little each time, so that you do not ‘over color’ the potato mash.
- Wash your hand in between making and rolling the potato shapes, this prevents the potato mash from sticking to your hands and also prevents the transfer of the different colors
This is probably my last Easter bento lunch for this year. Since tomorrow is a public holiday here in Singapore, I want to rest a little and take a bento break ;) I will be attending yet another cooking lesson tomorrow, so excited and look forward to share more with you.
Have a great week and weekend ahead!
