Bento #5 - Bun bun
Back on track today. Finally made it to the grocery store to pick up the things that I wanted for lunch. I have been accused of just putting normal things in my lunch and calling them bento. So I figured I’d go more traditional today.
The bottom has 2 BBQ pork buns, and a cucumber salad garnished with a pickled ginger flower. The buns are frozen and take 90 seconds in the microwave to cook, or 15 minutes of steaming for the traditional method.
The top has salmon, tuna, and cucumber sushi. Its leftovers from supper. In the middle is chicken and mushroom pot stickers. I expect I will be looking for a sauce at lunch, but I just have them plain for now.
Extra points for anyone that tells me where today’s title comes from originally.
[note: My wife poached 2 of the sushi rolls last night. If I’d known I would have cooked more pot stickers cause I was hungry this afternoon after lunch. or maybe a 3rd bun next time… bun bun bun]
