- 1/4 pack seaweed salad
- 1 tbsp furikake
Step by step
step 1
Make rice using a rice cooker:
- Rinse rice with water 3-4 times
- Soak rice for 20-30 minutes before cooking. Make rice in a rice cooker with rice-to-water ratio of 1 rice to 1.2 water
step 2
Make the tuna Salad:
- Open tinned Japanese tuna and drain sauce.
- Mix in mayo and shred the tuna into smaller pieces. Add furikake to taste.
step 3
Cut nori shapes for Baymax's eyes:
- Cut nori into two small circles and one long strip
step 4
Make the seaweed side salad:
- Soak the seaweed salad mix in warm water for 5 minutes to rehydrate the seaweed, then drain in a colander and squeeze out any excess water
- Mix in seaweed salad dressing and furikake to taste
step 5
Plate the bento:
- Create an oval-shaped rice ball and place it in one end of the bento box. This will be for Baymax’s head!
- Fill up rest of bento box with tuna salad, seaweed salad, and other additional vegetable sides to round out the meal. We recommend carrots and broccoli.
- Lastly, place your nori cutouts on top of the rice to create a rice ball that resembles Baymax’s face.
- Enjoy!
