Bento of the day: chicks and pandas



I did a lot of cooking last night – as well as preparing dinner I also boiled up some chicken stock and made a few items for my bento stash. Dinner involved rice, so I was able to cook a little extra and use it as the first layer of today’s lunch: not very much, just 100g. 

I made a beef topping by dry frying 50 lean beef mince with chopped onion, garlic, and sliced red peppers, plus some cumin, coriander and a sprinkle of chilli. I popped all that in one half of the lunch box and left it in the fridge overnight. 

This morning, I filled up the second half of the box with salad leaves and then all I had to do was make a quick salad dressing (1tsp tahini, 1tsp light soy, ½ tsp honey ½ tsp mirin), half of which I stirred into defrosted spinach (in the panda pot) and half of which I used to fill my little yellow dressing pot so I could drizzle it on the salad later. 

And here it is:
