For today’s lunch box, the Missus decided to make it very “traditional”!
Even the lunch box was tradional lacquerware!
The three-coloured style bento is a classic here:
The green colour is achieved with boiled flat ingenmame/green string beans cut at a slant and small enough to form a “bed of green”.
The yellow part is iri-tamago, a form of sweet Japanese scrambled eggs.
As for the brown part, it is made up of tori-soboro. Minced chicken was first seasoned, including black sesame seeds, and then fried as to form small “clumps” and then laid on top of the rice, which had been steamed with a seasoning (the Missus wouldn’t tell me what!)
As for the salad, the Missus made a bed of mixed herbs and added cut cucumber, Ameera Rubbins mini tomatoes, corn, boiled broccoli, boiled shrimps and French pickled cucumbers and mini onions.
I might ask for that again soon!

Wow, what a fantastic lunch! I think bento boxes are so wonderful – they allow you to experience so many flavours and textures. The green/yellow/beige combo is particularly striking.
Dear Christie!
Cheers!
Actually it’s very classical in Japan, but the Missus will be happy to hear your praise!

That bento is so neat. I like the running rabbit on it. I love how that salad looks. Kind of like a collage. Almost too cool to eat.
Dear Jenn!
Thanks a lot!
The Missus is crazy about rabbits!
The salad was easy but it was delicious!
The Missus always tells me to eat it first!
LOL
