The upper layer (in front) contains stirfried Japanese broccoli in soy and pad thai sauce, miso flavored tamagoyaki with spinach, breaded tofu and a fishy with chili, vinegar and soy dressing for the tofu (which didn’t get salty enough in [...]

What a monday bento. I’m sure everyone has some of those days… but I needed a bento, I have meetings straight through lunchtime today!
I came home late from Aikido training last night and was glad I already had vegetable curry and some Naan dough leftover from lunch. Make space in the box, add some microwave-cooked [...]

Salmon teriyaki with vegetable stirfry and steamed rice, tomato and pea sprouts decoration.
I make my teriyaki sauce myself with Mirin and Japanese soysauce in about equal amounts, a spoonful of honey (I think orange blossom honey would be phantastic! I have to get me some to try) and fresh crushed garlic and ginger. Instead of [...]

I seem to be on a vegan roll with my lunchboxes this week…!
The big container holds 1/3 spiced mixed rices (black longgrain, parboiled, red, white roundgrain, brown roundgrain), 1/3 red lentils boiled with turmeric and raisins, and 1/3 palak paneer tofu - spinach curry with tofu and green peppers. You can’t get paneer here and [...]

A very traditional bento for tomorrow, Japanese three-coloured rice (sanshoku-gohan). It’s easy to make and looks great, so I’ve been aching to make one for a while. I had this vision of using pink tofu for it, but I didn’t know what to colour it with - but then I had red food colour left [...]

I grabbed the small box today, since I got roped into using my lunchbreak for a game of Innebandy (swedish land-hockey). So, just something small to eat at my desk.
Stirfry leftover from ramen stirfry dinner; fried tofu (seasoned with Miso) and rice. Tomatos and thai basil leaves as decoration.

I’ll admit it.
I’m seriously addicted to pumpkin. I can’t go past a slice of pumpkin in the supermarket without buying it.
Incidentally, pumpkin has always been a savoury thing to me - I’ve never had a pumpkin pie, but instead soup, steaks, schnitzel and of course this tasty risotto…
Making Risotto is always about the same main [...]

Remember those?
Today I left work earlier and was able to spend time on cooking! Yay! Finally!
I shouldn’t be so irrationally giddy about this, I’m sure… but who could resist when the end product looks like this?
Stuffed zucchini have a reputation for being the “Help, it’s harvest time and my garden is full of giant zucchini!” [...]

There was a challenge on my bento community, and the theme was Sci-Fi TV shows. I love Sci-fi, so I had to participate - and not once, but three times even!
I was so impressed by the bento of Leiji Matsumoto’s character Queen Emeraldas posted on JList that I set out to do a Queen Millennia [...]
