We've taken lessons from the Japanese in how to whip up a quick snack that's both appealing and vegetarian
12 breakfast radishes, with roots
24 whole cloves
300g oak leaf salad, washed
8 baby carrots, with green tops trimmed
150g sour cream
2 tbsp salad cress
1. Cut two thin slices from each radish, about three-quarters of the way towards the top of the radishes.
2. Slip the slices back into the space they were cut from to act as ears for the mice. Stud their tops with cloves to act as eyes.
3. Line four bento boxes with salad leaves. Sit the radish mice on top, three to each box, and place two baby carrots alongside them.
4. Serve with small cups of sour cream garnished with cress.
