Taiyaki (鯛焼き, literally "baked sea bream") is a Japanese fish-shaped cake. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans. Other common fillings may be custard, chocolate, cheese, or sweet potato. Some shops even sell taiyaki with okonomiyaki, gyoza filling, or a sausage inside. Taiyaki is made using regular pancake or waffle batter. The batter is poured into a fish-shaped mold for each side. The filling is then put on one side and the mold is closed. It is then cooked on both sides until golden brown. - source: wikipedia

"Piggy Face" Rice Balls Bento

I've bought quite a number of Bento gadgets during this trip to Singapore. I am hoping to practice making some bento boxes for my daughter. Each time I chanced on Bento boxes designs, I cannot help but pause to 'study' what makes them so 'unbearable' to eat :) Now I want to start a new section in Deelish Recipes called 'DeelishBento' :)

Japanese Rolled Omelette Dashimaki Tamago 玉子焼 is a classic dish made by a special rolling technique to form several layers of cooked egg. The main equipment is the 'makiyakinabe' which is a rectangular pan. The key ingredient is eggs, sugar and rice vinegar. If you order Nigiri sushi or sushi rolls, you will see it and you can find it served as a breakfast too. This is also a children's favourite.

5 eggs
2 teaspoons sugar
½ cup dashi
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Japanese soy sauce
vegetable oil for cooking
parsley sprigs for garnish (optional)

Here's a video to show you the special cooking technique of rolling the eggs mixture in the pan:

The ingredients are rather simple and just by steaming you can make these delicious custard pudding (the japanese way). The English narration in this video sounds a little weird with the strong Japanese accent, however the video shows a clear recipe and preparation steps.
