Jack-o'-lantern Pumpkin Rice Balls

INGREDIENTS:

Ingredients for 6-7 Jack-o’-lantern pumpkin rice balls:
  • 2 Ty Ling Vegetable Fried Rice 
  • 4 tsp of Ty Ling Sweet and Sour sauce
  • Ty Ling Duck sauce for dipping
  • Ty Ling Hoisin sauce for dipping
  • Celery leaves
  • Nori sheet for cutting eyes and teeth
  • 4 tbsp of ketchup
  • 1 large carrot, grated

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Add the colour: Grate the carrot. Mix the grated carrot, the ketchup and Sweet and Sour Sauce with the rice until evenly combined to make a bright orange colour.
  2. Shape the rice: Take a piece of cling film and place one third of the rice into the middle. Wrap and twist the film tightly around the rice to form a small ball in the middle. Uncover and set aside. Repeat to make all of the rice balls.
  3. Make the faces: Prepare and cut the celery sticks into small three 2-3 cm long pieces. These will serve as the stem of the pumpkin. Next, cut out small pieces of the nori seaweed to make the mouth and face of the jack-o’-lantern. You can try any shape you like. Insert the celery sticks onto top of the rice ball, and apply the nori seaweed to the outside of the pumpkin to make the face. Wrap in cling film again, and twist tightly to secure the nori onto the rice ball.
  4. Enjoy: Enjoy as a snack or treat on Halloween.
