With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.
Today, you’ll learn how to make Kiirotori Cup Sushi. Kiirotori is a small yellow bird who is often seen with Rilakkuma.
1.
Ingredients
★Transparent cups (the ones I used are from Daiso)
★Sumeshi (vinegared sushi rice)
★Ground sesame seeds, furikake seasoning (I used Decofuri’s orange and purple seasoning)
★Thick omelette
★Fresh fish of your choice
2.
Divide three portions of vinegared sushi rice and mix one each with the ground sesame seeds and Decofuri seasonings. Mix the Decofuri orange seasoning with some flying fish roe (tobikko) too.
3.
Create three layers of rice from step 2 in your transparent cups as shown above.
4.
Pile fresh fish of your choice onto the cups.
5.
Slice the thick omelette. I sliced mine into a Kiirotori shape but you can make whatever you like.
Place your character omelette on top of your rice next to the fish. I was making Halloween themed sushi this time so I dressed it up with Halloween toothpicks and other decorations♡
