bento1: mushroom rice, teriyaki tofu and salad
Ever since I went to Japan on exchange as a teenager I have had a certain fascination for the Japanese bento (lunch box), even going so far as to research its history and different types. The bento I create are by no means "authentically Japanese" they certainly don't always contain Japanese food but I do try to put a variety of different delicious and healthy food in the lunch box.
I may not be vegetarian but most of the bentos I make are. My "partner in crime" is vegetarian and so I try to be create bentos that are not only tasty and healthy but meat free. This also limits how much I can copy from Japanese bentos as the majority have some sort of meat or fish in them. After searching the web it seems to me that more people are starting to warm up to the idea of making lunches similar to those of the Japanese. They dont have to be complicated and admittedly most of mine contain some leftovers from dinner as well as things I have cooked especially for lunch.
