Bento ideas | Cooking in Japan


It is the start of the new school year here in Japan and that means bento lunches. I quite like making homemade lunches as most store lunches are lacking in vegetables. Here are two lunches from this and last week.

Bento lunch 1

Soramame gohan – boiled fava beans (soramame 空豆) mixed with rice and topped with black sesame seeds
Pan fried pork seasoned with herbs de provence, salt and pepper
Peas and corn (both frozen) and edamame
Mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes

Bento lunch 2

 

Soramame gohan
Shaved beef in mushroom gravy
edamame, mozzarella cheese and cherry tomatoes
black olives and steamed broccoli
