More Meatless Monday fun!
Today’s bento contains a rice combination that started out as a hodgepodge of ingredients that didn’t have a direction but ended up being very tasty!

Monday is almost over….gotta post this now!
Today’s Meatless Monday bento contains:
Tofu burgers. I made myself for the first time! I’m so proud. No recipe yet because they’re not perfect and I have to tweak some ingredients.
Edamame.
Baked kabocha.
Fried scallions.
Enoki mushrooms.
Umeboshi.
Sprounted rice.
Sesame seed and salt furikake.
Yes, that is a lettuce leaf. I broke my boycott. 
2 more minutes…
Gotta post!

You know what they say, ” don’t fix it if it’s not broken!” And that’s exactly what’s going on in my kitchen of late.
Chicken and rice.
Packed in stainless steel box. Sound familiar?
A winning formula that doesn’t need improvement.
Shoyu Chicken Bento 20

Just catching up with this very simple bento from a few days ago. We both had sudden changes to our schedules so swift bento preparation was in order. You probably recognize the shoyu chicken! It’s my one of my “go-to” recipes and can be quickly prepared while the rice is cooking. I was done before I knew it!
Threw in edamame and leftover gobo kimpira and voila!
We have bento. I added furikake, yellow takuan and sprigs of enoki mushrooms to keep this lunch from being too boring.
Very rush-rush… I didn’t even bother with baran but I think it turned out okay.
Haha! Looks like I’m still on the stainless steel kick!

I’m crazy about stainless steel bento boxes! An obsession, a passion, a fascination or … a healthy fixation. Okay, I go with that.

At last! The recipe.
But before you take a peek… a warning that the instructions for Furikake Tuna Burgers only looks daunting. Three stages! What the heck? Isn’t bento making supposed to be easy?
No worries.
I assure you it’s very quick to prepare and the outcome is delicious. I promise.

Continuing our video/slideshow of “how to pack a bento” with this quickly made bento lunch using leftover pancit (Filipino fried noodles) from a party! I also reached into my bento-stash of hardboiled eggs to provide extra protein.
