Kani Gunkan + Onigiri

Prepared these the night before for my man's next day's breakfast + lunch bento..
gave some to my family too...
The ingredients left in my fridge are crabstick and japanese cucumber,
so I only used them.

 

Gunkan Sushi..

it's called the battleship sushi too!

Onigiri made using moulds definitely looks nicer!

Normally I will mould it by hand...

Love for him~ =)
 He loves Kani/crabstick alot!

2 Cups Short Grain Rice

2 Tbsp Japanese Mayonnaise

Seaweed Stripes (2 inches in height)

Making the Gunkan

1. Wet your hands with water before handling the cooked rice, so it will not stick onto your hands.

2. Mould about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of rice into an oval shape.

3. Wrap seaweed stripe around the rice. Seaweed should be taller than rice.

4. Top with kani mixture.
