Bento info and recipe for cabbage rolls

Made a bento this week that corresponds to the hot August weather.

"Hiyashi chuka" is a popular ramen dish that resembles a noodle salad: cold and springy ramen noodles, accompanied by various toppings and a refreshing sauce (often soy-based or sesame-based). Very easy and quick to make.

Have a nice weekend!

P.S. Thanks for your comments in my previous post!

Tried out a new type of bento today: chirashizushi, with seasoned rice, egg, nori, smoked salmon, home-pickled daikon, and avocado slices. Quite easy to prepare (minimal cooking) and very light and refreshing.

Have a nice weekend!

For those of you who get it, I hope you are having a nice Easter break!

Back from my brief hiatus. Decided to make a bento with leftovers: yasai-jaga, Italian sausages with tomato sauce, steamed cabbage, and rice.

A bento made primarily with leftovers. I also tried out a new recipe, "buta soboro gohan," or pork soboro rice, which makes a satisfying meal and great leftovers for a bento the next day. :D

I did "bento swapping" with my friend, where we each made a bento and exchanged it with each other. This was a lot of fun, as I got to know what other people's lunchboxes taste like and to talk about bentos (I'm sure all of us here know what a great conversation topic bentos can be). Hopefully the two of us can do it more often! :D

My bento for her:


(Green salad with dressing, mixed bean salad, tonkatsu, and rice)

Her bento for me:


(Cherry tomatoes, ham and asparagus rolls, takikomi gohan, and iri tamago)
