This is part 2 of my tutorial from yesterday. This tutorial is on how to make the sausage monkeys from this bento.
This time, you need 2 sausages. :) It's the same, you have to look for these short and fat sausages. :)
Cut off one slice, to be used for the monkey's ears.
Using a round cutter, cut out a circle and then cut the circle in half.
Attach on to the other sausage using pasta.
Cut hands out from the remaining sausage.
Assemble the monkey using pasta.
Using a slightly smaller circle cutter, cut out a circle from cheese and cut into half. Then, attach onto the monkey's ears.
Using a toothpick, cut out a heart shaped for the monkey's face. I did not use anything to 'stick' the cheese to the sausage, it'll 'stick' by itself.
Add on the face details from nori and you are done. :)
Hope you found this useful. Our one week break is almost ending, and the boys will be back in School next week. I'll be back with more bentos then. :)

Thank you so much for the tutorials!! I have to try the monkey one soon since N was born in the year of the monkey and fun to make monkey related lunches:)
ReplyDeleteU are welcome, Rina, n glad u liked it. :) IT too is born in the yr of the monkey but he hates bananas. :p
DeleteWonderful tutorial! The monkey is so cute :) I wish that I could get vegetarian mini sausages like that!!!
ReplyDeleteTks, Natakiya. Yah, these sausages are hard to find, the ones I get here are still a little too long.
DeleteThis is super cute, will give it a try as well! I love the hands holding on the sammie part, adds such charm!
ReplyDeleteTks, Berrygirl. Yes, I'm sure you'll do a better job, love ur wks. :)
DeleteAwww...thanks a lot for the tutorial. It is really helpful. It looks not that complicated afterall. But first of all, i must go and hunt for the shorty sausages first. :=p. Btw, can i prepared this a night before? I dont think i have enough time to do 3 monkeys or 3 little boys in the morning considering need to prepare the bread and stuff. lol.
ReplyDeleteOh great, glad tt it's useful. Yes, u can, but might still need some fixing in the morning coz when the pasta softens, the parts might droop.
Deletearrggghh...i cant find the shortie sausages here. :(
DeleteOh dear, cut off the sides n make it shorter? Will still look ok for monkey coz the 2 ears at the side can cover up.
