I didn’t have much time or creativity last night, so I just used up some veggies.
I made rice with chopped asparagus and carrots. Forming it into logs, I rolled them in parsley flakes. I added some pickled red carrot for color.
I found out that my bento box bottom holds 5 logs comfortably, where the top holds 4, but they are too tall for that layer really.
I think I’ve been putting off this post for a while due to the number.
Its a good one today, but entirely leftovers - an easy way back into the swing of things.
The top is a chicken ball cut in half, with beef and broccoli beside it in a nice garlic sauce.
The bottom is 2 chicken balls cut in half, with bok choy and carrots again in a nice garlic sauce.
Lunch will also include some ramen noodles to go with all this. Yum!
Can’t wait for my goodies to arrive from Japan - only about a week to go!
I just ordered some more bento stuff. I have a young daughter so I got some nice sauce bottles and mini spoon, as well as a couple nice bento boxes. I also found what seems to be an even larger bento box than my original, but still only for one person plus it has a nice thermal bag!
If you tune in here in a couple weeks you should see the items start to appear in my lunches, which I will be starting up again with the warmer season.
