Although the Spring Festival has not yet come, it is already 2016, and various bento bloggers have begun to post cute monkey shapes, so this time I also chose a cute monkey as the main character of the bento.

Some people may find it difficult to cut seaweed, but in fact, as long as you don't do the kind of cartoons, thick-line cartoons are still easy to use, but you need a little bit more patience. Moreover, it is very convenient to cut seaweed, because seaweed and cheese slices are foods with a long shelf life. Even if they are not used on the day they are shaped, they can be used at any time within a week if they are properly stored. This time I made the styling in advance, and then I made the bento two days later. The bento is ready. Just put the styling up, which is super convenient.

Little Monkey Flat Bento

1. The Xinlimei radish is squeezed into juice, the rice is washed, and the Xinlimei radish juice is steamed after adding the filter residue.

2. Draw a monkey pattern on the non-oily and non-watery cooking paper.

3. Chicken wing roots are cooked with salt, cooking wine, dried chilies, and soy sauce. They are steamed in a steamer with rice. If you don't eat spicy food, you can leave out dried chilies.

4. The lotus root and carrot are cut into thick slices, the carrot is embossed with a mold, and the lotus root is cut out with a knife. This step is just to make the shape more beautiful and can be omitted.

5. Stir-fry lotus root and carrots, add appropriate amount of white vinegar, sugar, salt and oil to taste.

6. The green beans are cooked and drained, and the two eggs and the green beans are beaten with salt.

7. Heat the jade pot on a low heat, then pour into the green peas and egg mixture, and slowly roll up from one end in a semi-solidified state. After rolling a layer, pour the egg liquid and roll it up again.

8. Boil the thick green beans with eggs and let cool and cut into sections for later use.

9. Cut black corn into sections and cook. Cut the crispy intestines with rice cutters and boil them to bloom in boiling water.

10. The bento box is sterilized and dried with boiling water or white vinegar, and the rice in the heart is packed into the bento box.

11. The other layer is filled with black corn segments and steamed chicken wings roots.

12. Fill both sides of the rice with green beans and thick egg for cooking.

13. Finally, put the lotus root and carrots into the bento box and decorate the cracks with crispy intestines.

14. The drawn pattern is covered on the seaweed, and the shape is carved with a knife. When cutting seaweed, start from the smallest hollow, and then gradually go to the outer contour. After engraving, remove the pattern and use tweezers to remove the excess seaweed. Do not pull the seaweed where it is not cut, just cut it gently with scissors.

15. Take a piece of cheese and paste the carved seaweed on it to be subdued.

16. Use a carving knife to cut off the excess cheese slices along the outer edge of the seaweed. The carrot slices are cooked. Use a straw to carve out two small circles to make a monkey blush.

17. Place the prepared monkey on the rice and it's done.

Tips:
The bento box should be blanched with boiling water or wiped with vinegar before use. The side dishes should be filled. Learn to fill the gaps with shaped dishes. The selection of cute bento materials can be very random, the main course can also be according to your own preferences, and the side dishes try to find some brightly colored fresh vegetables to match. There is no fixed number of ways, but there is a principle, not soup. It is recommended that the main dish be made with a stronger flavor, and the side dish should be mainly cooked in salt water, so that it is light and nutritious, while maintaining a bright color. You can try to make more small shapes or use a flower knife to change the shape of the ingredients. Place the main dish in the middle when serving, and then fill the gap with the side dish.
