To make the rice coloured you may add carrot/pumpkin puree

Mold the Rice

Take a piece of cling wrap, place it on your palm, scoop 2-3 tbsp of white rice and squeeze tight to mould into the shape of the ghost. Set aside.
Take a piece of cling wrap, place it on your palm, scoop 2-3 tbsp of orange rice and squeeze tight to mould into the shape of the pumpkin. Set aside.
Use the seaweed to cut out the facial expressions for the pumpkin lantern and cute ghost. Use a tiny straw to poke into the ham for the cute ghost blushes.

Decorate the plate with the garnishes.

Sushi Roll

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
