"Bear-cub"
Prepare the parts of the figure. 1. Ears: two 20 g parts of colored rice wrap in nori as small rolls. 2. Eyes: two 30g parts of white rice wrap in nori as oval roll. 3. Nose: small thin carrot wrap in nori. 4. Smile: 30 g of colored rice wrap in nori and cut lengthwise in 2 parts
Now you can put the parts together. Take the half of nori plate and fasten to it another 1/3 of second half. You need to get a long nori plate. Put on it 100 g of colored rice and distribute over the surface leaving 4 cm free on the both edges.
Put prepared parts on the rice symmetrically. In the middle put the eyes but leave the space between them and fill it with rice. Place the nose on top, and then put the smile. Cover all with rice and ball it. Then make the rounded roll and cut it.
Cut another carrot into small circles - you'll have pupils of the eyes.
Cut the ears and place them to the head. Bear-cub is ready.
