Here's a picture next to a quarter:
And finally just a close-up shot of the box. Without scale it could be really huge, but it's definitely not. The leaflet tight box is the largest box I have. It holds 500ml and has the largest footprint.
Contents of Bento: Frozen sour cherries, 2 small pieces of BBQ chikn wing-a-ling pizza with flying carrot garnish, awesome cucumber radish and shallot salad, onigiri (made with 2:1 brown to white rices) some are filled with umeshiso paste, decorated with red bell pepper and carrot flowers.I actually ate this on a Sunday. I had it in the fridge and it was the quickest lunch available, but also very tasty. The onigiri had gotten a little hard by this point, which was a shame, but considering that they had been made several days earlier and just languished in the fridge, it was not surprising. Since this didn't get transported anywhere, everything stayed put.

This one is very cute. I like the carrot decorations. Did you have the lid on the box in the fridge? Also, do you eat onigiri warm or cold?
ReplyDeleteWhen I pack a bento lunch, I either make sure that things are cool when I put them in, or I cool them down to room temp before putting on the lid. You have to put a lid on it in the fridge overnight or the onigiri will turn into rock-hard onigiri.
ReplyDeleteUsually I eat them cold when they're in my lunch. Sometimes I'll eat one of the ones I've just made when it's hot, but I don't, as a rule, reheat them at lunch.
