Bento #41 - Pink eggs you say?
A couple nights ago when I was putting my daughter to bed we somehow got onto the topic of colored eggs. My daughter is very young and doesn’t like to eat eggs in any form that I’ve tried yet.
So this morning I boiled a few eggs and tried dying them red.. well pink. I left the others soaking up some more color when I came to work so hopefully they will be red tonight. So far the plan is good - my daughter loved the color!
The rest of my lunch today (yes, I’m eating the pink egg too) is a larger version of my cabbage salad but with only salt and vinegar this time - no salad dressing. Besides that I’m having ramen instant noodles with carrot bits, and chicken and mushrooms in a garlic soy sauce. Essentially its salad plus leftovers, but don’t tell anyone.

The eggs were tasty! Then again most things are with butter and salt. What can I say, its a habit that’s stayed with me since I was a kid.
It seems the correct time is to soak them from breakfast until lunch to get a good color. I guess the next step is to try different colors, and then make them for deviled eggs for a party.
I wonder if I could do the same to tempura batter, hmm….
