Tom discovered Rilakumma while were in Japan and he soon became his new favourite character. To cheer him up on a gloomy Monday, I decided to make him a super adorable bento box with a rice Rilakumma face!

Cut a cucumber in to thick chunks and then use a small heart-shaped cutter to punch out some cucumber hearts. Use a knife to cut the hearts in to thin slices.
Cover the bottom of your bento box with salad leaves and then top with the cucumber hearts.
Cook the sweet chilli rice and then compress in to a small round bowl (which should be smaller than your bento box). Press it in nice and firm so it doesn't fall apart too much.
Carefully tip the rice bowl in to the middle of your bento box so that the rice ball falls out neatly.
Repeat this process with a tablespoon measuring spoon to add two balls for the ears.
Use a small glass to cut a circle from Quorn ham for the mouth.
Cut the bottom half off three olives for the eyes and nose.
Place the mouth in place along with two smaller Quorn ham circles on the ears. I cut these with a bottle top. Put the olive halves in place for eyes and a nose.
Use scissors to cut a small v shape for the mouth from a sheet of nori.
Arrange your nori, snacks and sides in the bento and serve!
