Oleh cookpad.japan, When I was thinking of things to make for bentos, I thought of braided bread, and tried making something similar with chikuwa fish sticks. Once it was braided it curled up with a hole in the middle, which I stuffed with a ham flower. (Is it human psychology to want to fill up holes.) Personally, I quite like it If you make the braid while evening out the sides, it will turn out very neatly. To start with, try securing the braid with toothpicks. When you get used to making these you can just secure with a bento pick. For 2 braided flowers made out of 1 chikuwa fish stick. Recipe by A-jin
