We just got back from Otakon! Which means that we have no food in the fridge yet… So I decided to make onigiri (rice balls) for breakfast again.
When I was looking into the fridge, I saw the pickled daikon (Asian radish) that I had made. (see “how to make sweet and sour pickled radish”) The daikon was pinkish because it had been soaked in radish, and I started thinking what I could make with pink (pickled daikon), white (rice) and black (seaweed). I looked my flickr “bento sets”, and found the perfect characters.

If you follow my blog, this might seem familiar to you. I’ve made the same characters with pork buns before.

This recipe doesn’t use yeast, so if you want to make buns fast, this is for you! (But as I mentioned in my other post, it’s a bit dry inside.)
For more moist steamed pork bun dough, check out “how to make steamed pork bun dough with yeast.”
When I was experimenting with steamed buns, I realized that Kodama was perfect character to make with buns, so I decided to add Kodama for this how-to.
