With the Neko Kao Onigiri Set you have all you need shape rice into adorable neko (cat) faces, with a ton of fun variations! Includes molds and cutters (nori punch) and a miniature silicone cutting board.

Watch the how-to video here:

As with all onigiri, we recommend using Japanese rice (short grain rice). Brown rice works too but may not stick together as well as white rice.

Instructions:

Insert the base of the cat head mold into the main mold.
Lightly wet mold with water
Pack rice into the mold. (Recommended amount is ~ 60 grams)
Press down using the lid piece
Flip the mold over to release the rice
For the face cut-outs, place a sheet of nori seaweed, or a slice of cheese or ham onto the red mat.
Place the yellow mold on top of the seaweed (side with serrated edges down) and press down to cut out the desired cat face.
Place the nori seaweed facial feature cutouts onto the rice
Done!

To make a calico cat, pour a couple drops of soy sauce to make brown spots! You can have fun making all kinds of different kitties.
