Sometimes life gets busy and you don’t have a lot of time
for planning and preparing bento lunches. This is a great example of how you
can use leftovers to prepare a cute bento – any stew and bread will do.
For my bento I used:
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 portion chili con carne
- 50g rice
- 1 piece cornbread
I used the base of the removable section of the bento box to
cut a half-moon of cornbread, then cut it in half to make a reasonable portion.
Because this bento box is rather deep, and to ensure a
veggie element, I layered the bottom of both sections with chopped carrot, then
on one side I added the chili, topped with a circle of cheese with nori to make
a smiley face. On the other, I put the cornbread (with roasted chilli stripes)
and some rice. The whole thing took me about 10 minutes to put together.
An even quicker version, which I made for my friend, was two
tortillas folded into triangles and placed in a takeaway box with a portion of
chili topped with cheese smiley faces.
Cute and quick, see.
