Furikake Mahimahi in Panda Bento

We try to eat fish at least once a week, but it seems I've been slacking off here, since (scrolling down) I don't see any fish in my photostream lately. When I saw this nice mahimahi at the market I thought it would be a nice change from the usual salmon (although I love salmon). I cut the fillet into smallish pieces, then pan-fried in butter (olive oil is good too). At the end, I sprinkled some furikake on all sides. I've also made this using kewpie mayo, smearing the fish with it and then sprinkling the furikake and frying. This works, but the furikake might burn if you fry too long. For TinySprite's bento, I tossed a few pieces atop hapa rice, stuck a few carrots on the sides and topped with fish-shaped Okinawan sweet potato. A couple of fish skewers completes the theme. The top tier holds berries, radish and cucumber. Just sprite-sized. ^_^

    1. Yep, kids love kewpie, and it's good to glue the furikake on.

  2. Panda perfection! I gotta try that kewpie version too.. I've actually seen kewpie being sold in a local grocery near my home. It's so white bread in my city, I almost fainted when I saw it. lol

    1. Woh! I'm kinda surprised too. I think I've only seen it in Japanese groceries around here. I bet you might get K to try fish if it was smothered in kewpie; maybe :D
