Make Rice Sandwiches
This rice sandwich is a cute way to Get a Toddler to Eat Lunch. Created in their favorite shape or animal, they will love the food and it will encourage a more relaxing time together during a meal. It's also a great addition to any bento box!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of any kind of rice, for example brown or white
- Luncheon meat, such as bologna, ham, or spam, or thinly sliced smoked tofu; use 2 slices for each sandwich you're planning to make
Steps
- Lay down a piece of luncheon meat (or veggie meat) on a cutting board. Use a cookie cutter of your choice to make a shape out of the meat. Repeat this for all pieces.
- Pan fry the meat shapes without oil. When it's lightly cooked, return it back to the cutting board.
- Place the meat back in the cookie cutter.
- Scoop enough rice into the cutter to fill out about 3/4 full.
- Top the rice off with another piece of shaped meat.
- Press it down while holding the cookie cutter to make the rice stick together. If your cookie cutter has the imprint part, use that.
- Remove the cookie cutter and you will have your rice and meat sandwich!
- Finished.
