Stars and salads

A very quick entry on today's bento, which is actually not for lunch. I have Thai food at a local pub for lunch on Fridays, but this evening I am going to the cinema straight after work and I don't want to feel like falling over if I have acouple of drinks after that, so I've prepared a light bento.

Rice stars:

I know there are some wonderful people who do these by hand, but I use rice moulds I bought from Bento & Co and then I pat them with some sesame furikake I got at the local health food shop.

Marinated tofu:

My quick tofu marinade is 50/50 lime juice and soy. I dip the tofu in the mixture and then dry fry it.

Salads:

On the left I have some steamed broccoli, and below it some iceberg lettuce (no dressing). In the middle is a serving of Makiko Itoh's delicious cucumber and nashi salad.
