Pig Onigiri

 Onigiri .... it's a rice ball as you may already know.  I made a pig rice ball today for my daughter's lunch.
Although I did this with rice, you can probably use the ears and nose for a sandwich as well.

Here is how to make the ears and a nose.

First, you take a piece of ham or bologna and cut the edge like this ↓

Cut two of those like this ↓

Then hold it half ↓

Fold it one more time like this↓

Use deep fried pasta or just simple pasta and use it as a stick to hold ↓

Make another one for both of the ears. then use cookie cutters or simply just cut the ham in small round for the nose. Use a straw to scoop out two holes↓

Then just place them on a bun or a rice ball.  Use seaweed paper for the eyes and mouth. I used ketchup to color the cheek :)
