Rice Penguins Recipes

RICE PENGUINS

Steps:

• Use a large spoon or medium sized ice cream scoop to make the warm rice balls. Place the spoonful of rice on a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap the rice with the plastic wrap and roll with your hand to create a rice ball.
• Take a sheet of nori (dried seaweed) and fold in half. Cut a heart shape along the fold. Unfold and wrap around rice. Use plastic to set the nori around the warm rice.
• Use the remain nori sheet and with a nori punch press to get different shapes you can use for the eyes.
• Use the round cutters to press into slices of carrot to create the feet and beak.
• Enjoy!

PENGUINS

Steps:

• Hard boil as many eggs as you would like Penguins.
• Clean a "fat" carrot (first removing the green) and cut about an inch off the carrot from the top.
• Cut a notch (upside-down V,) in front and in back of the carrot . Your carrot now looks like penguin feet.
• After your eggs have cooled, peel the shell off.
• Take a long toothpick and put it into the center of the "feet".
• Slip the cooled hard boiled egg onto the toothpick, wide side down.
• Slip a short toothpick, through the egg. About half way up the egg.
• Cut a "beak" from a leftover piece of carrot
• Make a small nick in the middle of a jumbo pitted black olive and push the carrot (beak) into the olive.
• Place the olive on top of the toothpick, sticking out of the body, he now has a head!
• Get another black pitted olive and cut it in half.
• Place each half onto the "arms" of the short toothpick, penguin flippers!
• They look great in the middle of a plate of Deviled Eggs.
• No two penguins look alike and everyone loves them.
• Get creative, give them a scarf or cut the beak so that it's open".
• (Safety Note) Watch the toothpicks around kids, they will want to eat the penguins.
• (Second Safety Note) Watch the adults too.
