Piggie Norimaki Bento
Did not feel like cooking anything for bento, so I prepared the quickie backup bento of turkey dog rice and nori rolls. Not technically "sushi" but along those lines. I used a mixed rice (red, white and brown plus quinoa) for these rolls. After cutting into bite-size pieces, I decided to add little piggie faces to them, pink as they are. The rest of the bento contains the usual carrots, peapods, steamed broccoli and Okinawan sweet potato, strawberry, blackberries and lychee. Yes, lychee! I spied them in the markets here this past week, and I am extremely excited about it. As you can see, they are wonderfully white, juicy and sweet: my favorite fruit of summer. Well, early summer. Until mango season. Heh.

ReplyDeleteYou got me curious about lychee... we have them here but I don't trust much they would taste as marvelous as they should...
*sigh*
Up north we are!
Ehehehe, yes, the 6 little piggies would be a nice snack...

ReplyDeleteThank you Kelyrin :)
DeleteI love your bentos! So cute and so healthy! Can you tell me how you make the rice with quinoa? Thanks So much!
ReplyDeleteI toss everything into the Zoji rice cooker together and cook it on the quick setting (about 30-45 minutes). If you are more organized, you can wait to add the quinoa until there are only 20 minutes remaining. Hope this helps!
