I posted this on Instagram during December, 2011. Many of you should know I’m super duper slow in blogging. Thank you for being patience with me.

This is the rice version of Moo Moo Cow sandwiches. You can follow the step-by-step here too.

Tools: Scissor, Toothpick, Knife, Cling wrap.

Ingredients: Rice, Nori sheet (seaweed), cheese slice, Ham, 1 tsp Mayonnaise.

Method:

1. Use cling wrap to mold the rice into 2 square shapes.

2. Cut nori for the eyes, nose, and black prints on the cows from the scissor.

3. Use knife to cut out 2 square shapes for the faces from the cheese slice. And 2 smaller rectangle shapes for the nose from the ham.

4. Use toothpick to draw the ears, nose ring and tails on the cheese slice. You can see how I do it here.

5. Dip toothpick with some mayonnaise to transfer and glue the nori on the rice.

I hope you enjoy making these cute cows.
