6/9/09 Bento- asiany noodles

My second photographed bento of my summer project:



Bento contents, left to right: bean thread noodles with sesame oil and rice vinegar,
mini pepper stuffed with scallion and parsley hummus,
sesame tofu and eggplant stirfry with fresh edamame and marinaded shiitake mushrooms over top (in a metal cupcake liner to keep it separated from the noodles),
steamed broccoli, and cucumber slices.
The green package at the top is miso for miso soup.

A great bento, the noodles got a little dry, because the oil and vinegar drained all the way to the bottom. The stirfry did also not stay separated, but leaked out. Fortunately, all the flavors were harmonious, so it wasn't a big deal. The mini pepper with hummus was totally awesome, but I have learned to keep bentos with hummus chilled, otherwise the hummus gets a little zippy. Food safety, anyone?
