Well, here goes, my first post on recent bento’s. I haven’t made any bento for today as today is the university’s dies natalis or birthday :p, so, we’re off today. yay! But yesterday both me and my boyfriend had classes so I made us both a bento to take with us.
Here’s my boyfriend’s bento:
Containing two onigiri with mixed in furikake; some torn up home-made meatballs; a small pack of salt to sprinkle on the hart-shaped hardboiled egg; a cheese triangle; a woo-tip dumpling; green seedless grapes.
My boyfriend isn’t a huge fan of (cold) vegetables in his bento, so I usually put in a lot of fruit to compensate and let him get his vitamines…
(behind the cut: my bento.)
As I was gonna have a really busy day I decided to use my slightly larger mashimaro bento which contains about 700 ml.
In it are three onigiri mixed with furikake; some bell peper; cup of canned pineapple bits; some home-made meatballs hiding under the pineapple; a dumpling; a pack of salt and a star-shaped hartboiled egg. The packed cell-phone thingy is a small slice of ontbijtkoek, a kind of cake which is apperently typically dutch. It contains practically no fat and also very little sugar. Since it is very cheap to buy here in the Netherlands, nobody ever takes the effort of home-making it. I’ll try to figure out the recipe though and see if I can post it. This is a children’s favourite, and works for me too
