Cook the rice according to packet instructions. Once the rice is ready, leave to cool then stir through seasonings of your choice (I added a little sushi vinegar to mine).

Take the panda mould and fill with rice, pressing it in with the back of the spoon and adding more rice as necessary. Place the top piece of the mould onto the rice and press it down to shape it, then remove the mould pieces. You should be left with a panda shaped block of rice.

Next, use the punch plates to cut out the ears, face and legs from nori (dried seaweed sheet).  Place the nori shapes onto the rice panda (they stick nicely by themselves) following the shapes on the body and you’re done!
