I’ll also be doing a Facebook livestream and IG LIVE this Tuesday (8/25) at 3pm PST where I’ll show you how to make this amazing Hello Kitty Musubi with step by step instructions.
Ingredients:
- One 12 ounce can Spam™, cut lengthwise into 8 slices, cooked
- Steamed and seasoned white sushi rice
- Nori sheet
- Thin sliced carrot
- Yellow bell pepper
- Honey
Tools:
- Hello Kitty face mold
- Paring knife or flower/nose cutter
- Tweezers
- Toothpick
Instructions:
1. Pack sushi rice in the Hello Kitty face mold. Remove rice from mold and set aside.
2. Using a sharp paring knife, cut two small round circles of nori for eyes and six very thin strips of nori for Hello Kitty’s whiskers (3 on each side).
3. Using a sharp paring knife or cutter, cut a carrot flower from a carrot and a small round nose from a yellow bell pepper.
4. Using a bit of honey, add the carrot flower on the right side near ear and place the yellow bell pepper as her nose.
5. Place 2-3 tablespoons of sushi rice in a musubi press. Place a slice of Spam™ on top of the rice. Remove rice and Spam™ from the musubi press. Cut a 1-inch strip of nori and wrap it around the block or rice and Spam™. Seal the nori on the bottom with a bit of water.
6. Form two small balls out of sushi rice for Hello Kitty’s hands. Press Hello Kitty’s face gently against a short end of the rice Spam™ block. Use a toothpick to secure Hello Kitty’s head to her body. Gently press the rice balls to the bottom of her face.
and ENJOY!
