Thanks to lil sis for showing me how to make these yummy lil things!
They’re super easy to make, you can add whatever veggies you’d like, and all 3 of my kids eat it up, especially baby girl!
Start with your veggies. Chop them finely.
Place just enough sesame oil to coat your pan and saute your veggies.
The goal is to get them soft.
I make small batches at a time. 1/2 cup of cookied rice + 1 tsp of sesame oil.
Add your sauteed veggies.
I throw in sesame seeds…for the crunch and texture.
Threw in an egg yolk b/c I had some in the frig.
Threw in some finely chopped up bulgogi for flavor! Doesn’t it look yummy already?! 
If you don’t have marinated beef to add flavor to the rice, you can always add a dash of soy sauce or crunch up some roasted seaweed.
Then roll them up firmly into small bite size balls.
Here’s a variation with the seaweed.
Enjoy!

Big sis made us dinner tonight, so I brought home leftovers to use for her lunch. I had rice already cooked, so I decided to see if the sandwich cutters would work as a mold for the rice. All Things for Sale sell molds specifically meant for rice, but I opted out of buying them this time around.
I used the rabbit sandwich cutter to make my rice shape. I just wet my fingers before trying to take the mold out and it helped. I was wearing plastic gloves initially but had to take them off because it kept sticking to the rice.
Used my seaweed punch to get this cute smiley face. The directions state it’s easy to just leave your pieces on your surface and pick up your rice and place it on top of the smiley face. It didn’t always stick for me, so I just used my finger tip to pick up the pieces and place it accordingly.

I made three of these bunnies and included some Korean short ribs that big sis grilled outside. There is something about grilled meat….YUMMMMOO! Lila was grubbing on this meat, so I’m hoping she’ll enjoy it for another day.
All packed and ready to be microwaved at school. I wish I could add some cheese pieces to this or some greenery, but I’m a bit limited to how I can pack her food if it needs to microwaved. It needs to be prepared to be popped in and ready to go.
So, that’s why I pack her another smaller tupperware for her veggies and fruit.
I used the sauce container for her ranch. It’s the PERFECT size!!! Hands down, this is the best 3.99 I’ve spent in a long time. Each pack comes with four sauce containers. They are tiny containers though, so it’s not like you can have enough salad dressing in here for an adult sized salad. I’m using my silicone cupcake liners to separate the food. Carrots and dip on the left, cherry halves on the right.
I also included some of her favorite cookies in a sandwich bag. It didn’t take me too long to make this but I did get sidetracked cause I had The Choice showing on TV. OMG. That show is hilarious! What’s up with the TV shows lately? They must be running out of ideas.
