Super cute Totoro rice balls
Overview
My baby and I don't like to eat walnuts. My sister fought hard to get her to eat walnuts, so she made a simple steamed rice with walnuts. Walnut kernels contain more protein and unsaturated fatty acids necessary for human nutrition. These ingredients are important substances for brain tissue cell metabolism. They can nourish brain cells and enhance brain function. Walnut kernels contain a large amount of vitamin E. Regular consumption of walnut kernels can moisturize the skin and hair, and can make the skin moist, smooth and elastic. So in order to eat walnuts, let's make it. I originally thought of making a few ordinary rice balls, but then I changed my mind and made a Totoro, a cute cartoon character from Hayao Miyazaki's animation. Let's make it. So let’s take a look at how the cute chinchilla is made. Let's go cook delicious food with Niuniu.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Peel the walnuts. The peeled walnut kernels are about 30 grams. This is just a reference. You can increase or decrease the amount as you wish. I roasted the walnuts in the oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Raw walnuts can also be used, and the cooked ones will be more fragrant. After the walnuts are roasted, grind them into powder in a food processor. You can also use a rolling pin to crush it directly. I am mainly afraid that the baby will spit out the chopped walnuts if he eats them, so I handle them more carefully. Wash the rice, stir the walnut powder and rice together and add a little light soy sauce. This is for seasoning. Finally add appropriate amount of water and steam until cooked.
-
Boil the eggs and peel them for later use. Use a fruit knife to cut out a round slice, and cut off the top half of the circle to become the belly of the chinchilla.
-
Cut out the triangular pattern on Totoro’s belly from seaweed as shown.
-
When the rice is warm, wrap a ball of rice in a plastic bag to form the overall shape of the Totoro. If you don't have a bag, dip your hands into a little cold water and put the cut egg whites on it. It's best to put it away when the rice is being made. If the ball is ready and you can't stick it, stick the cut seaweed to the belly of the Totoro.
-
Add egg whites and seaweed to make Totoro's eyes. Place the egg whites on the ground and cut the seaweed into circles.
-
Cut two triangles out of the egg white to make the chinchilla's ears. I used toothpicks to fix them. Try not to use them when your own baby eats them. Just stick them on them. You can try to poke a small hole in the rice ball and put it in.
-
Cut out Totoro's whiskers from seaweed and glue them on. Seaweed is easily deformed by moisture, so it's best to do it last.
