Bento Box #1: Leftovers
September 30th, 2009 | View Comments
My first bento! Which I ate at home, since I don’t start work until next week, but…it’s a bento! The contents are:
- Sautéed beef in ginger-soy sauce (leftovers)
- Sautéed baby bok choy (leftovers)
- Kim chee
- Sweet pickled daikon
- Grape tomatoes
And of course, steamed white rice.
I read somewhere that a bento rule of thumb is the food should have at least five colors for maximum beauty/nutritional value. I’ve got exactly five. Woo!
The little silicone food cups do not come with Ms. Bento; I picked up a bunch at a 100 yen store in Japan. The Qoo friend food pick is from my mother-in-law.* I have no idea where she found it.
Now let’s see how long it takes me to get hungry again.

*The first time I went to Japan, I had to stop and take a picture of a vending machine with Qoo in it because the mascot is so cute. Now my mother-in-law keeps buying me Qoo stuff.
