Coconut Curry Chicken Bento Box
Saba Man’s office had another “potluck” lunch (they are always having those) which yeilded lots of goodies for bento boxes. After the luncheon was done and the leftovers divided up, there was still a huge pot of coconut curried chicken. Saba Man volunteered to bring it home.
Fo a couple of nights I had it pretty easy… just reheat his dinner then pack bentos with the same. But… the weekend has arrived and the easy life has come to a close. Menu planning , grocery shopping and cooking is underway. The good news is that all the fun leftover foods has provided much inpiration and Saba Man is looking forward to new bento foods like fried noodles, bbq meatballs, and the beforementioned coconut curried chicken!
In the meantime.. here’s today’s featured bento box. Coconut curried chicken, shoyu chicken, white rice, tomatoes and steamed broccolini knot! Fresh shiso leaves act as both wraps and baran.
There’s a couple celebrations in mid-February… smells like more “potluck” is in the air!









































You make leftovers look fantastic! Looks super yummy
Yellow coconut curry is looking good and delicious in your bento. And I like the broccolini knot
i love the way the shiso leaves look in this one, and the knotted broccolini is cool! sigh, i agree with bentobeginner, the way you combine colors and arrange things makes even leftovers look innovative and gorgeous!
I want those boxes
. Yum! The chicken curry sounds divine Debra
Mmm…..this looks lovely!
What’s your coconut chicken recipe, care to share?
Hi Katie,
This particular coconut chicken dish was not from my kitchen. I do have a recipe and will post it the next time I make it. Thanks for asking.
Wow, that looks great! Beautiful bento and the food looks delicious and fresh.
Yummy foods, artistic presentation, fun food story–what a treat!
That looks really good! So simple, but yet so elegant!
