Valentine World 2013: Japanese Chocolate Gift Ideas

On Saturday, my darling and I've been to the "Valentine World" at Odakyu department store. It is an event for Valentine's day, selling collections of amazing chocolates with FREE tastings :D

We tasted most of them and bought chocolates for each other♥

I will show you what we bought in the next post :)

Featured Recipe on Cookpad: California Rolls

On 2/2, the day before Setsubun, my California Rolls recipe on Cookpad was featured on its top page XD



Last time my recipe was featured was in 2008! It has been 5 years! Wow!!!
Believe it or not. My Eho-Maki recipe was featured at that time. Sushi again! hehe



BTW, I will make a list of my award winning recipes in 2012 someday. I haven't updated that for a long time...

How to Make ONE PIECE Bento Lunch Box (Nori ART Recipe) - Video Recipe

In this video, I will show you how to make amazing Nori Art character bento box.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR1tB_rmYgA

You can apply this technique to make any other characters you like.



Good thing about this is you can make this the night before! So you don't have to get up early to make Kyaraben for your kids :)

---------------------------------
Nori Art

Difficulty: Patience
Time: 1.5hrs or more or less (mine took about 1.5hrs)
Number of servings: 1

Necessary Equipment:
your favorite character's picture
flexible cutting board
binder clips
design knife
tweezers
Nori seaweed sheet
sliced cheese

Directions:
1. Print out your favorite character's picture.
2. Place Nori seaweed sheet on a flexible cutting board. Then place your favorite character's picture on top of the nor seaweed sheet. Secure them with binder clips.
3. Cut out the image with a design knife. Cut out smaller parts first, larger parts last. If the parts were too small to trace, you can cut them out later (or any easier way for you is fine). Make sure you don't lose any of the parts you cut out (keep them in a box).
4. Place them on a sliced cheese.

Tips:
You can make this the night before. Wrap it securely in plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge till the next morning when you pack your bento box :)
