Hello Kitty Tea-Sandwiches

I was actually going to make a video for this one but I've been too busy working on a paper for next month. All you need for the great shapes is the bottom of a Hello Kitty egg mold (which I got online from Japan). Once you have that, everything else is a breeze, even though I obviously got the bows facing the wrong way.

Ingredients List:
1 tbl Hummus (spread 3/4 in the middle of each sandwich and the rest on the top)
2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread
Baby Spinach Leaves or Other Small Fillings (for the sandwich)
2 Slices Mozzarella-Style Tofutti
1 Slice Orange Cheddar Tofutti
1 Small Patch of Nori
1 Small Patch of Red Pepper and Kamaboko
Cucumber Slices for decorating

Use your egg mold bottom to cut out the slices of bread first (side by side in Whole Wheat Bread) and then carefully spread some of the hummus on. Set it aside, add two small pieces of folded spinach and repeat with the other slice of bread.  You should get two HK pieces from each. Sandwich a naked bottom to a hummus-topped one and spread the rest of the hummus gently on top (not too much). Cut out your white cheese with the egg mold and carefully place it on top. Cut out your bows (make sure they'll face the right way) by cutting out one largish heart and a smaller heart, plus a little dot to connect them. Place them on the right side of HK's head and then cut out your nori with a very small hole punch. Add the eyes and then cut out six whiskers for each, using either tweezers or a bamboo skewer to adjust them. Add the nose with a lightly pinched straw (to give it that oval shape) and add cucumbers for decoration.

This dish is perfect for those with small children or for those who have a small appetite. I really hope that you'll enjoy this. Make sure to leave a comment to tell me how I'm doing! Enjoy!

Hello Kitty-Shaped Tofu

I bought the most adorable little Hello Kitty egg mold online and used it to press my tofu. The white one turned out better (in my opinion) and I shaped it like an egg after quartering the package, slicing off the top and bottom and sliced it in half. I boiled it for a minute and then placed it into the egg mold for ten minutes. The other one was just a piece of tofu cut into a square and in half and the process was the same. After its ten minutes in the fridge were up I soaked it in soy sauce for a pretty brown color.
