Koala's March Chocolate Candy House | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

This homemade kit includes Koala's March and the best selling snacks from LOTTE: Toppo, CRUNKY Wafers, and Ghana milk chocolate. The kit is not necessary. Each snack is available at stores.

What other tools you need:

double boiler

hot water

spoon

knife

cutting board

plate or a try

As seen in the instructions, there are two houses you can make, a big one or a small one, but there’s only enough candies in the kit to create one house. Be careful ;)

It also contains 3 different backgrounds for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and one you can use all year round. They are so cute!

Koala's March Chocolate Candy House

Aside from chocolate house you can also create a seesaw, a bench and a slide using leftover pieces, so don't eat them too soon!

Last but not least you can put Koala's March around the house and in the playground. You can spend even more time decorating the house! Be creative :)

This kit is sold offline at about 10 bucks in Japan. Bit expensive online.

What’s Koala’s March?

Koala's March is a bite-sized biscuit confectionary with a chocolate filling. One of 365 different lovely koala characters is printed on each biscuit :)

Cure Summer Bento Lunch Box (7 Useful Tips to Make Kyaraben) | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

This video will show you how to make Cure Summer Bento Lunch Box from Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure (2021) along with 7 Useful Tips to Make Kyaraben (character Bento lunch box) 💖 You can apply this techniques to make other characters as well.

Take time 😊👍

Cure Summer Bento Lunch Box (7 Useful Tips to Make Kyaraben)

I used WILTON Icing Colors

---------------------------------

7 Tips to make Kyaraben (character Bento lunch box)

#1 Find the image easy to work with: Opened eyes are sometimes difficult to make, so choosing the character with smiling eyes or winked eyes saves time.

#2 Make rough sketch of Bento: detailed ideas are better because you may run out of energy to go easy.

#3 Shop ingredients based on your sketch: if you have detailed ideas with you, you may luckily find better ingredients.

#4 Use vivid colors for the egg crepes. Egg white is easy to break, so you can mix starch and water to prevent it from breaking（1 tsp. starch & 1 tsp. water for 1 egg white).

#5 Start from larger parts, trace them on a parchment paper, and cut out the ingredient with a design knife.

#6 Make sure you don't put eyes on top of ham (face). Face parts must be at the same level or eyes will look like popping out and scary...

#7 Cut Nori seaweed lines as thin as possible. Thick lines look sloppy...

Basic ingredients you need to make Kyaraben:

egg

food coloring

cheese slices

ham slices

Kanikama (fish cake)

Kamaboko (fish cake)

Time you need may depend on the character and your concentration. Please take time to make it. You can make the character a day before and keep it in the fridge.

*You can make rice or noodle dish with a lot of vegetables to save time making side dishes.
