I know it’s not Monday, but “Meatless Tuesday” just doesn’t quite have that same ring.
Yesterday was our monthly #twitterfoodparty with the theme of lemons, limes or yuzu so I took advantage of this late summer flavor for today’s vegetarian bento lunch.

Okay first off, Saba Man says these look like sausages. This was not my intention. I wanted them to look like medallions.

No worries.
I assure you it’s very quick to prepare and the outcome is delicious. I promise.

You may of noticed that lately I’ve been packing our bentos with kongbap. A Korean mixture of rice (brown or white) along with beans and grains. Read the rest of this entry →
