- For the nose, poke a hole and place a black peppercorn. Place the black sesame seeds for eyes.
- To make the owl: Slice the olive thinly.

- For the belly make 5 slits in a shape of a “V”. Push the slits up with using a toothpick.
- For the beak, make a slit in a shape of a “V”. Prop up the beak by stuffing the egg white cubes under the slits.
