Directions
-
Mince the onion, thinly slice up the mushroom, drain the green peas, cut 4 round eye shapes (for the mummy-shaped sausages) from the cheese slices and then thinly slice up the remainder. Cut the chicken into 1 cm (0.4 in.) cubes, and boil the sausages. Mix together the egg, milk, salt and pepper from (B).
-
Prepare the chicken rice (A). Heat 1/2 Tbsp of butter in a fry pan and saute the onion until translucent. Add the remaining butter and cook the chicken over medium heat, sprinkle in the salt and pepper, then add in the mushroom and green peas and saute all ingredients.
-
Once cooked through, add in the ketchup, lightly cook, then add in the rice and turn the heat to high. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper, then remove from the fry pan. Once cooled, divide into 2 portions and form into rounded mounds.
-
Prepare the thin omelets (B). Clean the fry pan, add in 1/2 Tbsp of oil, turn the heat to medium and add in half of the egg mixture. Stir while spreading in the fry pan, cook thoroughly and remove. Repeat these steps to prepare one more thin omelet.
-
Cover each chicken rice mound with one each of (4), place a clean kitchen towel on top and use to mold the form and place into the lunch boxes. Use a knife or kitchen shears to cut a face into the thin omelets.
-
Prepare the mummy-shaped sausages (C). Wrap the thinly sliced cheese slices around each sausage. Use the cheese round eye shapes and the yakinori to add eyes, then add a dribble of ketchup for extra effects.
-
Feel free to add more ingredients such as quail eggs and your choice of vegetables (extra).
