I love making Japanese rice balls (Onigiri). In Japan, it's very popular to go all out decorating rice balls any time of year. Over here, I do it more for Halloween. Enjoy this edible craft!

Supplies:
cooked short grain rice (or sushi rice)
a small bowl of salted water
nori sheets (Japanese dried seaweed)
scissors
toasted black sesame seeds (optional)
hot sauce or Japanese dried plums for colour (optional)
Directions:
Use scissors to cut nori into tiny shapes for facial features. I used toasted black sesame seeds for nostrils and pieces of Japanese pickled plums for the tongue. Wet hands with saltwater and press rice into head shapes. Decorate.
