How to Pack a Bento #4

Posted on August 05, 2010 by Debra

If you’ve been following my other series…  “How to Pack a Bento”‘ ,  I’m  happy to announce  that I’ve combined it (for now) with the “Back-to-School” series with this new step-by-step video!

Details on this bento are posted here   which  explains a bit more about it’s  contents and a few important tips about packing bentos for school.  I also posted a recipe for the Chicken Tsukune here.

  2. Vanessa says:

    Awesome!!! Thanks for the video, it really helps (^.^)

  3. Lufflee says:

    wow, and i was always wondering how you managed to get so many things to fit so nicely inside xD I never really knew how to use the lettuce, I just thought it was put on the bottom for decoration or something.

    Thanks for the Video!

  4. Laura A. says:

    Great video! I’m looking forward to more Back to School bentos, very helpful.

    • Debra says:

      Hi Laura, Welcome to our bento bloge! Thanks so much for the feedback. It keeps me going…

  5. Lyndsey says:

    Your how to videos are always so helpful. You must have a large stash of goodies to be able to keep adding all that you need to make it just right! I usually run out of different things that I could use.

    • Debra says:

      Hi Lyndsey, Yes I do keep a variety of produce and frozen foods as a bento-stash. If I don’t have berries, then it would be a radish, etc… Thanks so much for the compliments!

  6. Sonoma Bento says:

    Your videos are so well done, Debra! I need to keep them in mind when I pack bentos, because sometimes I get so worried about placement. But thinking of each element makes it so much easier, like colors, and different tastes.

    Great tutorial Debra, love it :)
