Obento April 27, 2010

Hi my dear friends!  I was taking a break from posting for awhile.  I had a lot of things I'd got to do.  But I realized in the meantime, that I wanted to be connected with people who share the same feeling.  I'm grateful that many of you inspire me anytime.  And I mean to post as much as I can from now on!
Well, here is today's bento.   Ugh...featureless bento!?

bento 2010.4.27

Sauteed chicken tenderloin flavored with oyster sauce and syoyu
Shrimp fritters with sauce
Carrot kimpira
Boiled string beans with creamy sesame dressing
Brown rice topped with scrambled egg 

How to make Shrimp Fritter
First, coat shrimps in a beaten egg then put some potato starch (or corn starch) over them, then repeat the same work only one more time.  And then fry them in a little olive oil (or another vegetable oil you like).

How to make Oyster Sauce Chicken
Dredge pieces of chicken tenderloin with some potato starch (or corn starch or flour), then saute with a little sesame oil (or another vegetable oil you like) in a pan.  Then add a little of syoyu and oyster sauce and water, then mix well.  Done!!

Fritter Sauce
1 Ketchup
1 Tonkatsu sauce or Uster sauce
1/2 Shoyu
A Little spicy seasoning (Chili powder or Tabasco or Mustard or minced Hot pepper or any spices you like)

(Oh boy!!  I forgot to put this sauce into the carrying bag!  Awww the left bottle...  sadly)


Finally, some sorts of flowers are coming up but it's still not warm outside.  Sakura does not start to blossom yet.  I'm really longing for ohanami (cherry blossoming) picnic!
