Halloween Snacks Preparation

Ingredients for Frankenstein Onigiri

• 4 tsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp matcha (as a substitute for green food coloring)
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 2 tbsp tuna
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• Nori seaweed (cut into large and thin strips)
• Black olives (pitted olives)

preparation

1. Prepare the rice mixture: Mix rice vinegar, olive oil, matcha, and salt with the cooked rice until the color is evenly distributed. The matcha gives the rice a natural green color—perfect for our Frankenstein look. The best part about matcha is that you don't need any green food coloring.
2. Make tuna spread: Mix tuna, mayonnaise, and sriracha into a creamy paste.
3. Form the onigiri: Place some of the rice mixture and add a tablespoon of the tuna spread to the center. Form the whole thing into a closed ball.
4. Designing the onigiri: Use the nori seaweed to create Frankenstein's hair and mouth. Cut the seaweed into thin strips and place them on the onigiri. For the eyes, cut the black olives into small pieces and place them on the rice ball.
