Nigiri with salmon roe, tamagoyaki, avocado, enoki mushrooms and fried tofu on sushi rice.
The box held up nicely by the way :) It doesn’t seem to leak anything poisonous and was easy to wash.
The BF gets the same - and since he specifically asked me to buy more sugarpeas, he gets some more of those. [...]

Vegetarian sashimi - Tamagoyaki, avocado, fried and vinegared bell pepper and fried eggplant, pickled ginger rose with wasabi petals, fishy with soy sauce, rice and nori/bell pepper decoration.
It may get image heavy. You have been warned.
First, I felt the need to make sushi today. But Tuesday is also Gym day! So when I had boiled [...]

A discussion about nori substitutes made me run to the kitchen and demonstrate that eggplants (and oher things) can be used very well to roll sushi rice!
How to:
Cut an eggplant lengthwise into -very- thin slices. I made them only about 2mm thick. The slices I used for rolling were about 15cm long - if your [...]

Mmm, sushi. I like to make sushi on sundays - it’s the only day where I can safely spend lots of time on cooking!
I would love to make mini-temaki sushi rolls for bento, but I fear the nori will get soggy… :(
Big compartment: Maki rolls (California and leek-mayo-avocado-cucumber), tamagoyaki, a pickled ginger rose with wasabi [...]

I made a lot of nummy food over the weekend, so I put all the leftovers into bentos!
…yes, I’m a glutton - but I don’t eat breakfast, so bringing an extra box is OK, right?
First, my two boxes for work:
Pre-dish - butternut squash soup and condiments (wholewheat toast croutons with sesame, thai basil, carrot strips, [...]

I have to come in to test the network at work tomorrow; so I packed some bento for my BF and me to go out and eat it in nature later.
Kimbap style rolls with spinach, carrot sticks, sweet omelette slices and pickled radish
Kimbap style rolls with avocado instead of spinach
and average joe crabstick, avocado, leek [...]

Vegetarian sushi is a wonderful thing:
I got most of my inspiration from Indigo, who make delicious vegan sushi.
Since I am a bit worried about having raw fish at home (I wouldn't be able to tell if it was still good, let alone cut it) most of my at-home sushi creations are vegetarian. The only fishy [...]

I really should prepare more the night before… making bento in the morning is a horror ._.
Well, it’s not. It actually gets me to get up earlier and not after 10 snoozes of the alarm. But I’m usually late because I spend so much time arranging!

Bowl: Instant misosoup packets and some extra seaweed (hidden)
Big (right) tier: 4 Inarizushi, carrot flowers, leek and radish for the misosoup. And my meager excuse for a radish flower (they need to be soaked, and I didn't have the time for that).
Small (left) tier: Kiwis on top of raspberry yoghurt.
Breakfast: Drink yoghurt.
Not my prettiest or [...]

Tomorrow's bento is spoils from the weekend's shopping excursion!
* Inarizushi, tiny “inside out” rolls and a nori pocket with Wasabi.
* Maki rolls
* Reese's cup and Jelly beans
* Mikado “pocky”!
Can you believe I never had a Reese's cup in my life? You don't usually get them here. I saw them at an English food shop on [...]
