To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook character bento ☆ kumamon rice ball using 6 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Character Bento ☆ Kumamon Rice Ball:
- Take 1 dash over 1 bowl's worth Plain cooked white rice

- Make ready 1/2 Cheese
- Take 1 Kanikama imitation crab stick or ham
- Make ready 1 Vegetables and proteins of your choice

Steps to make Character Bento ☆ Kumamon Rice Ball:
- For the head, make a large slightly elliptical rice ball, followed by 2 small round ones for the ears. Cook the pasta in a frying pan.
- Cover the rice balls in nori seaweed. To smooth out the straight edges of seaweed that are poking out, insert some cuts in a circle around the edge and wrap them under the rice, overlapping some sections of the nori. Wrap everything in cling film to let the nori seaweed soften into the rice.
- Cut out one large circle of cheese and 6 smaller circles of cheese of the same size to make the ears, eyes and cheeks. Cut out 2 circles of the same size from the imitation crab to create the cheeks.
- For the eyebrows, if you use a bit of cheese where there is an edge left behind from cutting out a circle you should get a nice curve. Cut the pupils, nose and mouth out of nori seaweed.
- Fix Kumamon's ears in place with the pasta. Arrange the facial features on the face and you're done. When you fix the kanikama in place for the cheeks you'll instantly recognise Kumamon.
Information on How to Boost Your Mood with Food
Mostly, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and should be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this is very true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. Several foods honestly do boost your mood when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are wonderful for helping you fight depression. You should be sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Eat an egg and be happy!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all good for elevating your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more serotonin you have, the happier you are going to feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you want to fight depression. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you fight your depression.
Some grains are really wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you be happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. It’s easy to feel depressed when you feel hungry! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously making the rest of your body more relaxed. You were already aware that that green tea helps you be a lot healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood too!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
