1

Sketch Hello Kitty's face

Start by sketching Hello Kitty's cute face on a piece of nori seaweed using a food-safe marker or edible ink pen. You can use a stencil to make it easier or freehand if you're feeling confident. Don't worry too much about perfection, Hello Kitty is always adorable, even with wonky whiskers!

2

Cook the rice

Cook the desired amount of sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before shaping it into cute Hello Kitty rice balls. Wet your hands with a bit of water to prevent sticking and mold the rice into oval shapes. These will be Hello Kitty's head and body.

3

Add details to Hello Kitty's face

Carefully place the nori seaweed face you sketched onto Hello Kitty's head-shaped rice ball. Gently press it down to make sure it sticks. Use little bits of nori for the eyes, a small triangle for the nose, and thin strips for the whiskers. Get creative and give Hello Kitty the most endearing expression!

4

Create Hello Kitty's bow

To make Hello Kitty's bow, roll a piece of pink ham or salmon into a tight cylinder. Cut it in half and place the two pieces on top of Hello Kitty's head to form the bow. Press them gently to secure the bow in place. Hello Kitty is now all dolled up!

5

Assemble the bento box

Now it's time to assemble your Hello Kitty Bento Box! Arrange the Hello Kitty rice balls in one compartment of your bento box. Fill the other compartments with colorful fruits, veggies, and your favorite snacks. Don't forget to add some Hello Kitty-shaped food picks for extra cuteness!
