Today’s baby dinner bento features two little pumpkins to get us all in the Halloween spirit!
I shaped about half a cup of sushi rice into a ball using plastic wrap, then dusted it with black sesame seeds for color. On top of the rice went Pumpkin #1, which I cut out of a fruit snack (the organic ones from Archer Farms at Target are mine and the baby’s favorite).
Around the rice went a sliced strawberry and one wonton with some of my homemade nitsume sauce. I’m glad I made a double batch of nitsume last weekend; it lasts forever and goes great with anything savory that could use a touch of saltiness.
Pumpkin #2 was an easy creation of half a Clementine orange with a leaf pick in the top. Simple but effective!
Happy Halloween, everyone!
