It’s a funny question to ask. But sometimes we forget to ask ourselves this simple question in the hustle & bustle of the day.
One of life’s simple pleasures - which compound throughout the day gives a really good end of the day feeling - is making something for yourself.
And filling a bento box is like packing a little care box for yourself.
Beware, bento boxes are SMALL! (As you can imagine, a big box when filled gets extremely heavy.)
SO, What can you pack in there? Not as much as I’d like…LOL!! You should have seen me.
I made my choices based
on what I love
what I have in my fridge
what I am hoping to achieve (portion control) &
how I’m feeling when I FINISH my meal.
Bento Box 1 was filled with:
3 spoonfuls of smoked kimchi from @stroudsmokehouse
1 king oyster mushroom
1 small portion of leek/wild mushroom claypot rice
Bento Box 2 is filled with
1/3 red pepper + last of the kimchi
1/2 handful samphire & coriander
1/2 portobello mushroom
1 small portion of leek/wild mushroom claypot rice
So, if you have a bento box / lunch box, what would you make for yourself today?
It’s not always about the recipe, it’s about the inspiration to try.
