I made sticky rice using brown and white rice, and added a bunch of goodies into it as well. This batch I made using the mushroom broth, which made it more flavorful. There's also a tomato stuffed with chopped olives and feta, peapods, star radish, and tricolor cauliflower. On top of the rice I put three orange sunsugar cherry tomatoes and a skewer of purple and yellow carrots (they still had some at my market last weekend!)
Fruit side has strawberry, blueberries and one of the awesome Dapple Dandy plums. They still had these too, but they are definitely getting a lot smaller.

ReplyDeletelove your colourful bentos. can i ask how you get colourful cauliflowers? tq
ReplyDeleteThanks Astrid and javapot! The yellow and purple cauliflowers are bred and grown here in CA, and I get them at my local farmers markets :)
ReplyDeleteHi sherimiya, do you freestyle cut the radish star? I've attempted but my radish stars do not look very good. Any star cutting tips?
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your bentos. Thanks.
hi hapa bento,
ReplyDeleteYes, freestyle! It's the only semi-fancy cut I can do with confidence! I simply make 4 very thin v-angled cuts, holding the halved radish securely in my fingers and removing the 4 slivers with the knife blade. If you make a mistake you can just make the cut again, a bit wider...in fact you can end up making an open flower blossom even if you really mess it up. It's great! Hope that helps. Thanks!:)
