Hello all. (I'm rather... anti-social on this site... I forget I'm a member; my apologies)

Does anyone know any good bento recipes? For example; onigiri
I'd rather like to have bento for my lunch but I don't know so many things I can add. My cookbooks give me no ideas.


Thank you, in advance, for any help.

I have a site with a bunch of recepies My Lunch Can Beat Up Your Lunch! clicking 'bento photos' may help you find something specific. I find it easier to know what I want when I see it.
Bento ha kakkoii desu... ☝ mottomo kakkoii....ne?
 
OMG!

I had to add all those sites to my favourites! Kiko, those recipes are do-able...and the ideas... I never thought of fruit spring rolls using rice paper before...

I am going to have a culinary weekend experimenting! They are going to be sooooooooooooooooo jealous of my lunches at work next week!!

Bento lunch served in restaurants (sometimes called gozen) tends to be less densely packed, with more concentrations on presentation. The most popular form is Shokado bento developed in 1933 by Teiichi Yuki, the founder of the famous ﾃｼber restaurant Kitcho.

hahahaha I love the title "MY LUNCH CAN BEAT UP YOUR LUNCH"
 
OMG! Im so excited! *teary eyes* I love onigiri so making them would come in handy. BUt theyre only 70 cents by me so maybe id still be better of getting the boxed lunches no? :?
 
I used to bring Japanese bento as lunch when I was studying my degree. I made it myself. The trouble was I received too much attention; it wasn't very easy to eat when many people starred at you.

 
I brought it to work yesterday. Oh man, that was something. I'm putting apple in my rice for work on friday!
 
Those pics are great; I always find the Japanese food decorations neat!
 
bezz ...

Can you do us a favor,provide a description of those mouth-watering bento pictures you come to post from time to time ?
 
My grandmother taught me how to make a good (delicious and nice-looking) obento.

The most important thing she said is you should not only use stuff of the same color in it. If you put some pieces of grilled chicken, it's brown and if you put some yakisoba (fried noodle) beside it, it's brown too. Then the obento will not look very delicious no matter how it really is so. You should put something red, green, yellow instead of two brown stuff, it would look far better.

red stuff can be tomato, umeboshi (pickled plum), benishouga
green, broccoli, parsley, green peas, kaiwaredaikon(radish sprouts)
yellow, lemon, tamago-yaki, takuwan
brown, hamburger, meat ball, croquette

Please look again at all those mouth-watering obento photos bezz-san posted, they are all so colorful! If your obento has all those colors, then really it looks nice and also has very well balanced nutrition.
