Furikake Bento
It's a furikake mahimahi bento set because I was able to find fresh caught mahimahi yesterday. Yay! I'm pretty sure I've posted about this "recipe" before but if you missed it, here it is: slather your filet with kewpie mayo, sprinkle liberally with your favorite furikake (aji nori or nori komi is what we usually have), then pan fry both sides until done. I cut my filet into smaller pieces for ease of eating as well as increased surface area for coating with furikake. I actually served it with furikake rice; can you believe they didn't overdose on furikake? Both kids got basically the same bento, with steamed broccoli, carrots and "cherry" tomatoes, but he got golden plum while she got some kind of black plum. Neither is very sweet, although they were sold with Fall names. Oh well. At least we get to see something different than grapes every day.
Notice anything different about the lighting in my photos recently? I moved my picture studio to a different table which I just this weekend discovered to have nice natural Fall season light. So now the light angle is different and it feels fresh to me. I'm super excited about that. Silly, right? ^_^

Hmmm delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Blog!
I get hungry from seeing all these great and beautiful bento!
XOXO
I love it! I also loved the tweet about clearing your table. lol. We had fish tonight as well but lightly coated with panko. I love that slight crunch. I love all the different picks in this bento, it's so fun! I'm amazed the picks come back home from school. My kid either gave hers away this summer or 'lost' them. lol.
ReplyDeleteDelicious lunches! And it's not silly to enjoy a new lighting :D it looks excellent!
ReplyDeleteAwesome new lighting! And the mahi mahi with furikake sounds so good. I will have to try, esp with a simple recipe. Congrats on the clear table! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Raspberry Jam!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chantale! Me too; crunchy fish is pretty awesome. I'm still kinda leery about picks with her, although she's been very good about remembering to put them all back in her box so far. The only mishap I've had is one of the wooden ones breaking. Not bad.
Thanks Jenn! I LOVE light! So happy about it; thanks for humoring me :)
Thanks Sonoma Bento! The cleared table, the newfound light -- it's all gooooooood. I'm a big fan of quick and easy recipes and this one ranks for sure. It's yum!
I love Fish too.. yummy and healthy..
ReplyDeleteWe don't usually get mahimahi but do try to eat salmon at least every couple weeks. It is good. :D
ReplyDeleteFish is healthy! And your furikake mahimahi looks so yum. Happy for you to find your new lighting. Bright and vibrant :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lia! So funny. I walk right by this skinny table all the time and never thought to use it. No room to use tabletop tripod so I handhold my camera or use full-length tripod and it's so much easier! Maybe for winter I'll look around for a different spot :D
ReplyDeleteI still need to try your furikake technique. It looks so delicous. Congrats on finding natural light. Your pictures always looked fresh anyways!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra. I wish I had a nice lightbox setup like you, ready to go anytime. The photography is the hardest part. For me. sigh.
ReplyDeleteFish is so good.. and that furikake technique looks very nice and easy! Will try..
ReplyDeleteBentos look so fresh and yummy.. I just envy your light spot! ^_^ It is so dark here I need to use my white lamp to take pics... :(
You are making my mouth water!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the new lighting! And I love the colors of your plum and broccoli side-by-side. Your have a real eye for the color palette I think :-)
ReplyDeleteLove all the colors, they both look so delish!! Is it lunch time yet..lol
ReplyDeleteThanks karaimame! Pretty soon I'll be using the same...
ReplyDeleteThanks OhayoBento!
Stretching My Imagination: thanks a lot. The produce does all the work; I only arrange them. :D
Thanks Mommyof2girlz!
Your lunches look great and delicious! I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Leesa!
ReplyDeletei know i've seen furikake fish from you before, but i always forget about it and then want to run home and try it when i see yours! and i'm still impressed that both kids are such adventurous eaters.
ReplyDeletewhat's interesting to me about TS's bento here is the scale... at first i thought it was kind of big, but then i realized i have those oval-shaped silicone cups and they are TINY, so the whole thing is much smaller than i thought. which makes it adorable! that teeny-tiny piece of fish in lettuce! love :-)
Yes, I've been making her bento smaller since she's been distracted at school. Now that it's been a couple weeks, she's been excellent about finishing the whole thing by the time I pick her up.
ReplyDeleteA funny note about this one: when I picked her up she'd left the lettuce leaf there, as I expected. But when we got home and she put everything in the sink, she insisted on eating the lettuce. Woh; that surprised me. :D
