Origami

[eredien]

1.) You can fold a sheet of seaweed into an origami crane.
2.) Then my cat will eat it.

I used a spray bottle, like the kind you spritz wayward nori-eating cats with.

I think the thing I will try next time to cut down on the smell is dipping my fingers in water and just dampening the edges I need to fold.

Apparently, you can also do origiami with wonton wrappers. I want to make edible unit origami.

Aha! So that's the secret. The next time I'm making rice balls and bento boxes, I'm going to have to try this out. :D Thank you!

The wonton wrapper cranes in that link are beautiful! NOM NOM NOM

I checked out a library book on Japanese decorative garnishes (mukimono) a while ago. I only tried a couple of them, but playing with food is so much fun!

See? That mom who told everyone not to play with their food was lying.
