Okay, time to start cooking again. Today I packed MisterMan some shoyu chicken, along with roasted halved Brussels sprouts and kabocha pieces (I tossed those veggies in the shoyu sauce too). I'm pretty pleased with how I managed to get all the cut segments of exactly one half of a cara cara orange to fit perfectly into one section, and topped them with halved grapes to echo the spots on the radish "shroom" in the center. There was also just enough room to squeeze in a luscious red strawberry to round out this bento. This round box makes bento-packing almost effortless, which is why I love it so much. Everything is so ordinary and quick to prepare, but it still manages to look bright and appealing with minimal arrangement. I think my boy will like this one!

ReplyDeleteLia, I can count on the kids to eat up all the shoyu chicken very quick. It's a kid-pleaser for sure.
Lily, let's all have some shrooms and have a party :)
Yep, those are pencil chopsticks Chantale :)
Megan, I could make shoyu chicken every day and they won't complain. It was my fave meal when I was a kid too.
Candace, that's great, congrats!! Hope he enjoys it a lot!
