Over the weekend I bought a new lunch box. I couldn’t resist
it because it’s shaped like a LEGO brick:
As a result, I was very excited about packing today’s lunch.
It’s a much larger box than I usually pack, so I have used lots of low-calorie
filler like radishes.
- Namul – this is a salad made with blanched greens, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds and salt. I have topped each portion with a radish spiked on a panda pick to make it cuter and more colourful.
- Chopped radishes – to nibble on and to take up some space in the bento
- Egg in treasure bag – this is one of my favourite recipes of all time. I like to make a few at the start of the week and have them in bentos or slice them into soups.
- Poached carrot – this is just carrot that has been poached in the dashi/mirin/soy combo I used for the eggs
- Multi-coloured rice – I’m not sure the effect comes off that brilliantly, but there is supposed to be one layer of white rice and one layer of green rice. I’d say it is lightly green, and I have added some petits pois to enhance the effect. The green tinge was achieved by boiling the rice in the water I used to blanch greens for the namul
