Fish bento #1


This week I got a haul of new stuff from Bento & Co – so I have lots of new goodies to experiment with. Today I decided to use the Toji box



I like this one because it is very elegant – and it was inexpensive, too.

Today’s bento is fish-based. The main component is one of my favourite recipes by Jamie Oliver. I filled the shallow layer with 100g brown rice, which I topped with a grilled mackerel fillet. It looked a bit plain and brown, so I added an umeboshi for prettiness.



In the deep layer, I included a panda pot filled with the delicious dressing from Oliver’s recipe, some radishes spiked on cute panda picks, some purple sprouting broccoli, a portion of namuru, and some sliced poached carrot.



The only slightly annoying thing is that the panda's ears stick up too high for this box, so it didn't fit together as snugly as it should. However, thanks to the elastic band, it all held together well.
