With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish. In this edition, we'll be using a recipe from the Disney dessert cookbook Oishii Disney Sweets Recipes. In the book, there is a recipe for making s'more cookies of Mickey's gloves, but I decided to shake things up a bit and make Winnie the Pooh ones instead. The glove recipe is super cute as well, so if you can get your hands on the book I definitely recommend trying that out too.   A s'more is a marshmallow wedged between chocolate and cookies. The cookie dough isn't overly sweet so it's extremely delicious even if you pack full with marshmallows and chocolate.   IngredientsCookie Dough 100g unsalted butter 80g powdered sugar A pinch of salt 20g egg yolk (1 medium egg) 190g sifted wheat flour   S'mores Marshmallows Chocolate Chocolate Pen   1. Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature then knead in a bowl well. Slowly add the the powdered sugar, egg yolk and sifted flour in that order while mixing. 2. Once the mix comes together, line it across a baking sheet and flatten evenly. Once flat, put in the refrigerator and chill in the refrigerator from at least an hour to overnight. In the recipe book it says to use a round dough cutter but I actually own a Winnie the Pooh cutter so I used that. Cut the dough to the size of your liking. Line them on a baking tray and bake at 160℃ for approximately 20 minutes. 3. Once baked, leave to cool. Next, start drawing on the face. I made a video to show how I did it so check it out below.

Place the marshmallows on the side of your cookie without the face and melt in a 500w microwave for 20 seconds. Place the chocolate on the warm marshmallows and then pop the face back on. The marshmallows and chocolate are more delicious when melted, so I recommend eating them as soon as you take them out of the microwave. It was fun to put in the amount of chocolate and marshmallows that I wanted. They are perfect for parties too!

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish. In this recipe, we'll learn how to make a recipe from the book Disney Tsum Tsum Sweets Recipes pictured above.   As well as the characters pictured on the front cover, others include Winnie the Pooh, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck. We'll make the ears from marble chocolate than our usual chocolate plastic. The middle is like a sandwiched cookie, so you get a deliciously crunchy texture♡   1. Ingredients Silicone cupcake case (my cupcake sections are 6cm) White chocolate Matcha chocolate Marble chocolate Chocolate plastic (also called "modelling chocolate") Chocolate pen Oreo cookies Pink, yellow, blue and green food colouring   2. Melt the chocolates separately over a bain marie and pour them into separate sections of the cupcake case, about halfway in each. 3. Place Oreo cookies into each like so. 4. Cover the cookies with the remaining chocolate and chill in the refrigerator until set. 5. Once fully set, the final step is to decorate with our chocolate plastic, marble chocolate and chocolate pen.   Sully's purple ears are made with chocolate plastic. Pooh's ears are made from marble chocolate. To see how I fully decorated my cookies check out the video I made below!

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.   In this recipe, you'll learn how to make Pompompurin gomaku rice balls that's perfect for picnics and lunch boxes. Gomaku is a mix of minced meat and vegetables with rice. These rice balls can be made easily with ingredients found in stores or at the market.   1. Ingredients Store bought gomaku rice mix (五目ごはん) Rice (I used 2 cups) 2 eggs Starch 1/2 meatball Pasta (cooking instructions below)   2. Mix the gomaku rice mix into the rice. 3. Divide your rice mix into two portions, shape into a head for Pompompurin's face, and leave to cool. I made a video for you to follow the next steps! [video width="320" height="426" mp4="https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/18a264d9599bea799bb1717770a44654.mp4"][/video] 1. Frying the egg ①Whisk the egg and then strain through a strainer, using a fork to push through any remains. ②Add the starch which has been dissolved in water into the strained mix. ✩By adding watered starch it makes the egg less likely to break and easier to wrap later on. ③Lower the temperature of the pan from medium down to a low heat. ④Once the temperature has fully come down add the egg and ensure it covers the entirety of the pan. ⑤After turning the pan around lower the heat again. Once the egg has fully set, turn off the stove and put on a lid to let the egg cook with the heat of the pan.   2. Place the cooked egg onto some cling film, add the rice mix, and wrap into a ball until fully sealed.   3. Use the leftover egg from the seal to cut out some ears for Pompompurin.   4. Use half of a store-bought meatball and fix to the top of Pompompurin's head with fried pasta to make a hat.   To make fried pasta, add the length of pasta required to a frying pan without oil and cook by starting on a low heat and slowly bringing to a medium heat. Turn off the stove once the pasta has coloured slightly.

Fried pasta is a useful ingredient for various recipes where you need to fix decorations onto food, so be sure to try it out with other things too. 5. Use seaweed to make his eyes and nose and ham for the cheeks. And your Pompompurin is finished!   The fried egg can be prepared the day before meaning you can make up your lunch box nice and quickly in the morning. It's super convenient learning to make a good use of the ingredients you have at home♡   Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series. Be sure to check out her Instagram where she has uploaded many pictures of her character dishes!
