Method
- Using small scissors, cut the roasted nori into two floppy ears, one oval nose, two curved lines for eyes, and three tiny straight lines for paw details.
- Place 3/4 cup warm white rice into a square of cling wrap. Twist tightly to form an oval Snoopy head shape. Place on the serving plate.
- Use a small amount of rice in cling wrap to form a round paw. Place below the head. Form the remaining rice into an elongated body connected to the back of the head.
- Using kitchen tweezers, carefully place the nori cutouts onto the rice to create the facial features and paw lines. The steam will help them stick.
- In a bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs, heavy cream, and salt until completely uniform and slightly frothy.
- Heat oil and butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs. Gently push the setting edges inward, letting raw egg flow out.
- Cook just until the bottom is set but the top is still glossy and slightly soft-scrambled (1-2 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
- Carefully slide the soft omelet out of the pan and drape it directly over the rice 'body', leaving the head and paw exposed.
- Garnish the plate with chopped scallions and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Ensure you are using sticky, short-grain Japanese rice; long-grain rice will not hold its shape when molded. Do not overcook the egg, or it won't drape properly.
