Rice Shapes Lunch

We love sushi rice in our household.. especially when we make it into shapes!

You can view my “How to make Rice Balls” .

Or you can get a cookie cutter. Place it on the plate. Put Rice into the mold, and then pat down. Carefully lift up the cookie cutter while holding the rice. Be careful! Sushi Rice is sticky!

On the menu:
Rice Shapes (Heart and Bear) with Cheese and Ham (and the bear has a seaweed face!)
Sliced Apple
Tomato (with a tomato food pick)
Strawberry (with Minnie Mouse)
Sausages (with Donald Duck)
Blueberries

    What a great idea for sushi rice. My kids love sushi, but I know it’s really the rice they love, so these are perfect.

    I’ve never thought of using the cookie cutters on rice. Love it!
    Sorry I haven’t stopped by for a while – need to update my feed. Something’s not working.

    Rice shapes are a fabulous idea! We love sushi rice in our house too. In fact, we LOVE sushi lol. But I’ve never thought of taking to the rice with a cookie cutter. You’re so creative :) x

    Not a huge sushi fan here; but ham and cheese sounds nom.

    I love how it is all set up for the children. And great idea for using the cookie cutter!

    Thanks for sharing your blog on We Heart Life yesterday x
