This morning I hadn't planned a bento and was on my way out the door when I realized that I had meetings all through my lunchbreak! saved my day by posting hints on quick bento staples!
Two ricicles (I couldn't resist) – frozen onigiri, one with gochujang mixed in. I made a batch on the weekend – also some yaki onigiri, but they sadly don't seem to be my thing.
Read how to make them in ss_biggie's speed bento blog.
My ricicles are all hand-formed – I don't have onigiri shapers here, but I have started to get the hang of handforming the little triangles. They get a little bigger than Japanese ones – my hands are so big! But the angles are quite the same – I found that with the right hand position, the shaping happens on its own and all you need to do is to twist the riceball around three times.
Also in the box: The last of the neverending box of physalis, three grape tomatoes, a minipudding, a yoghurt and some nori on the side for the riceballs.
By the side is some green tea drink (which seems to be actually barley tea with “green tea” taste) that I found in the Asian supermarket on the weekend. I'm not quite sure I like it – barley tea on its own is an acquired taste, but I find that the lemonade is rather too sweet for my taste. I rarely drink lemonades or sweetened drinks, so this came as quite a shock.
