Snowman Bao Bento
No-cook Christmas bento for MisterMan today. We got home late after TinySprite's debut Nutcracker ballet performance so there was no cooking to be done. They were so excited and wound up by the whole affair that they could barely get to sleep. Today started very grumpily, as a result. Let's hope the snowman lifts some spirits! It's a steamed char siu bao, which I thought was appropriate for a snowman, and all I had to do was add nori facial details, radish cheeks, a carrot nose (yes, I did cut a slot for it and stuck it in his face), and a crusty bread pipe. He's got a cucumber hat and even some broccoli earmuffs. Hello Frosty! There's also pork chow mein, some grapes and a satsuma mandarin. Whew! I'll have to get back into the routine again. Tomorrow. ^_^

Thanks Lina! You're sweet, but this one is really no-effort bento. Haha! And thanks for TS; she almost made me believe she was a fairy... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lia, no not Bao Queen, but maybe due to sheer number of bao bento I get the title by default! Thanks for peeking :)
Thanks Debra! I didn't plan the earmuffs -- they were accidental. Haha! Thanks for sharing my happiness with TS !
So very cute, Sheri!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son was horrified a few years ago when he realized Frosty had a pipe and SMOKED! It was such a scandal for him. LOL :)
Melissa, me too!
ReplyDeleteSo sad.
Maybe it was just a prop and he never lit up?
Let's hope.
Accidental broccoli earmuffs, well, they completely "made" the bento for me! Great idea on making the hat - and in a matching color too, no less.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic snowman! The earmuffs are my favorite part, but the entire ensemble is great :D
ReplyDeleteTiny Sprite is so beautiful and she looks so happy!
So cute snowman! I loved the idea :). Earmuffs and all.. just wow!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to TS! She looks so happy and proud! She surely is, the kids did very nicely!! Amazing for such young age! i went ows and aws ^_^
Wonderful! I was all bent out of shape trying to figure out how to make a corn cob pipe for a bento snowman. I am glad you figured it out. :) Tiny Sprite is soooo darling. I love the pics from her performance. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Stretching My Imagination. I wish I could say the accessories were deliberately coordinated. That would be so stylish!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Natakiya!
