Veggie bento #7 - Straight from the freezer bento



It’s thanks to my habit of freezing things that I was able to construct today’s lunch. I’ve been rather low on time lately, and planning and putting together bentos has been a struggle - hence the dearth of posts. However, a quick rummage in the freezer allowed me to put the box below together in just a few minutes.

Here’s what’s in it:

  • 100g cooked sushi rice (defrosted overnight)
  • 1-2 tbsp petits pois
  • Carrot rounds (these were poached in orange juice, chilli and soy before freezing)
  • Bean burger  
  • Roasted butternut squash (leftover from last night’s dinner)

When I woke up this morning I packed the defrosted rice into my bento box and topped it with frozen peas, arranged the squash into one of the smaller compartments and popped a bean burger and some carrot rounds into the other. It took me five minutes, and can easily be reheated in the microwave at work. However, you could also microwave the various elements before putting them in the box.
