Get it? Tofu-Snowman? Snow-tofuman? Hm. Okay, nevermind.
One more snowman bento -- I forgot to add him into the last post, but it's okay.. I think he may be my favorite. Doesn't he look happy? Maybe because he's making his final appearance in a long week full of snowman bento? Or because I finally managed one that looks kind of cute rather than "interesting"? Trouble is, since I have been in snowman mode so long I may have a hard time remembering other Christmas theme possibilities for this week's bento... Well. Anyway.
For this one I made ma po tofu using ground chicken, fermented mustard greens, green onions, black bean sauce and a little guilin chili garlic sauce ('cuz I love it, but the kids can't handle too much). Also, I roasted some asparagus in olive oil and garlic powder. I made the tofu snowman face with nori and carrot facial detail and purple potato hat with yellow carrot buckle on a bed of white/brown/black (Forbidden) rice mix. Raw carrot stars. Fruit section has kiwi flowers with blueberry centers, satsuma mandarins, strawberry and raspberries.
Is it cold where you are too? Snowman is happy about it, but I'm not! I am counting the days until we are on vacation.. to a sunny and warm spot on the globe where we can thaw out ^_^

ReplyDeleteHi Lia! I think you're right.. last day of school here is Friday, then off for 2 weeks (yay!) ^_^
ReplyDeleteHehe, this one is really cute! But not my favorite at all =/
ReplyDeleteHere in Germany it's cold. Yesterday we were the first day under 0°C. Were my parents live is snow already, and on the mountains around me, too. I walked two hours around in town yesterday, and I saw the first tiny snowflakes... but not enough to even be seen by most of the people.
Hi Lil'chan, and thanks! I envy you your white Christmas; it must feel very cozy and festive to watch the snowfall by the fireplace and sing carols!
ReplyDeleteReally cute snowman. It is snowing right now, when I'm lookin out my window. <3
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed seeing all of your snowmen!
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable! It's not too cold here. I think I'd rather have the snow instead of chilly, drizzly rain.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bento Lunch Blog! Snowing.. makes the cold worth it ;)
