Skips The Yeti Bento







Unfortunately my "egg" sheet didn't turn out right because someone had accidentally bought extra-firm tofu (and I used the wrong pan). I would suggest using medium-firm for the strength and some smoothness, but silken for total smoothness. I added a little High-Five Ghost onigiri from the leftover rice and made Skips a bit more adorable with sriracha cheeks and nori eyes.

Skips Bento Ingredient List:
Sticky Rice
Vegan Egg Sheet
Nori
Sriracha
Tomatillo
Grapes (two colors)
Carrots
Black Bean Falafel
Spinach
Oven-Dried Tomatoes

Enjoy!

Kittybread/Neko-pan (猫ーパン)


First of all, I want to point out how clear this picture is - I'm really getting better with my photos, don't you think? Second of all - this is another bread themed animal in meme form! It came all the way from a storybook in Japan so why don't you invite it for breakfast, lunch and dinner? You can use any type of sticky condiment onto the bread for the facial features or you can use more bread before you bake it.

Kittybread Recipe:
1 and 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 and 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 and 1/4 cups Warm Water
2 tsp Rapid-Rise Yeast
1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Kittybread Ears Recipe:
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Rapid-Rise Yeast
Enough Warm Water to make the dough

Mix all of the dry ingredients together (keeping the two recipes separate) and then slowly add the water. Once they are a dough, toss one onto a well-floured board and knead for about 10 minutes or until an elastic ball. Repeat with the other dough and let them rise for about one and a half hours. After they have risen, place the larger dough in a well-greased bread pan and then separate the smaller ball. Roll the two smaller balls into tube shapes and place over the large loaf. Pinch the tops and try to shape them into triangles as much as possible. Let that rest for one and half more hours and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes or until your knife comes out clean from the insides. Let that rest for an hour and use whatever you like to put on the facial features - I used peanut butter and nori since it was what I could think of.


Enjoy!
