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.

Decorate the plate with the garnishes.

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.
