After viewing my pokemon bento a few people have asked how I made the Pokeballs. So I thought I’d make a little tutorial so everyone can have a go!
They’re really easy to make and taste great!
What you will need
• Radishes ( I usually only make 2 or 3 )
• Nori seaweed
• A sharp knife
• Scissors
• A little sauce ( tomato, brown, mayonnaise etc )
Step 1
Score a line around the centre of the radish to separate the top and bottom of the “pokeball”
Step 2
Start “scraping” the layer of red off of the bottom of the “pokeball”. Don’t cut the flesh off as it will change the shape. Scraping takes the red skin off to reveal the white while keeping a spherical shape.
Step 3
Cut out long, thin strips from the seaweed and some small circles slightly wider than the strips.
Step 4
Using a little sauce stick the nori strip onto the pokeball around the line you scored and then stick the circle onto the middle.
You now have some delicious little Pokeballs for your pokemon bento!
this is great! I’ll be using this tutorial for sure!
Thankyou! I can’t wait to see them in your lunches 🙂
They are so cute! I want to make some! I wish my littles would eat radishes, hmph. I wonder if the hubs would like a Pokémon lunch… 😀
Thankyou 🙂
Maybe you could convince them to if they were Pokeballs 🙂
I’m sure he would, who wouldn’t love a pokemon bento :p
Awesome!
Thank you so much 🙂
This would be awesome if I ate radishes…
But it’s still a great idea!
Aww do you not like the taste?
Thankyou 🙂
Yeah, radishes… are a bit too strong. I don’t mind the Japanese radish (daikon) though, it’s milder.
I’ve never tried daikon but I’d love to!
