It was back to classical” bento today!
That is rice topped with all kinds of ingredients!
For once I managed to steal into the kitchen to take a quick pic of the rice being steamed with the beans!
It was a pretty voluminous bento as you can see!
As for the main meat the Missus fried slices of tuna in soy sauce and covered with cheese and chopped thin leeks.
The rest of the garnish consisted of renkon/lotus roots, shiitake and stringbeans fried together in the same pan as the tuna. She added a fresh plum tomato, boiled egg seasoned with black sesame, home-made piclled mini melons and myoga and lettuce. I probably forget something!
Chopped veg salad with pieces of lettuce and walnuts and cherries from Yamanashi Prefcture for dessert!
I can guarantee you I was full after that!

so lucky to have someone prepare a bento for you. how long does it normally take for her to cook all those different things?

Dera Friend!
If the Missus steams rice, she will let ti soak overnight.
As for the bento, keeping in mind that she cooks her own lunch at the same time, it will take less than an hour, but she is well organized!
