Panda Bento

Panda Bento

Overview

I have been watching videos of giant pandas recently. I really love the cute and clingy bear dumpling! If we can’t find a real panda, let’s create our own bear dumpling! This recipe is written for Hokjun multi-grain rice, so the black rice balls in the video use Hokjun rice. Unfortunately, Hokjun rice has too few black ingredients, so I added a handful of black rice and black sesame seeds. If you don’t use Hokjun rice, just use black rice.
