The Very Hungry Caterpillar plate

This is a plate inspired by the beloved picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

In addition to its fun appearance, the easy-to-grab, easy-to-eat combination of small components is another highlight.

The basic elements of the caterpillar are small rice balls and mashed potatoes: spinach is mixed into the rice balls and edamame into the mashed potatoes to give them a green color.

Roll them up and arrange them alternately to form the body, then add the face made from cherry tomatoes and cucumber and the cucumber legs to complete the look.

Besides the caterpillar, it’s also recommended to add touches like heart-shaped hamburger patties and flower-shaped carrots to make the whole plate more vibrant.
