Themed Food- Halloween Ghost

I love making themed bentos and dishes. It's fun to make and keeps me smiling when I eat it.

This year, I made steamed ghost dumplings with a noodle salad. They are mixed with steamed dumplings and gyoza (baked dumplings). You can click the links to see the full instructions.
