2. ADD FOOD COLORING
It’s best to roll out all the eyeballs, irises, and
pupils before adding color, so you have an exact
count. Then you can combine the food coloring
into the iris and pupil balls to color them. Add a
bit of coloring to each iris and pupil and reroll in
your hands until the coloring is thoroughly mixed
(Figures
B
and
C
).
TIP: Wear gloves when you color the shiratama.
Some food coloring is difficult to wash off.
3. MAKE THE EYEBALLS
Once the shiratama are dyed, you can take off
your gloves to make the eyeballs.
• Flatten out an iris in the palm of your hand
using a finger.
• Place the flat iris on the eyeball.
• Place the pupil on the iris (Figure
D
).
• Gently press and roll all the pieces together
to make an eyeball (Figure
E
).
4. COOK YOUR EYEBALLS
• Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Gently drop the shiratama into the boiling
water. They will sink to the bottom of the pot.
• When all of the shiratama are floating,
continue to boil for another 2 minutes.
• Strain the shiratama and then transfer
them to the ice water to cool.
• Once they are firm and not hot, you can
eat them or freeze them for later.
NOTE: Freeze them in a way that they're
not touching, otherwise they’ll fuse together
permanently. This is very important!
HERE’S LOOKING AT YOU, KID
Now let’s make some drinks!
MOCKTAIL: Add 3 frozen eyeballs to a wine glass,
and fill with cider or a clear soft drink. Add a few
drops of grenadine and 1 drop of red liquid food
coloring.
COCKTAIL: Same as the mocktail, but add vodka!
Blueberries complement shiratama well, too.
