You can use various vegetable besides bell peppers.
How to Cook Wafu Bell pepper Marinade
1) Cut some bell peppers then fry or saute it in some vegetable oil
2) Sprinkle a little mentsuyu on the fried bell pepper and toss well
You can add a little bit of sesame oil
Mentsuyu consists of soy sauce, sugar, mirin and dashi. Do you have it? If you like Japanese cuisine, it is useful for various cooking. You can use mentsuyu for Noodles, Nikujaga, Tempra, Nimono, Kimpira, Wafu salad dressing. And it's so helpful when I overslept and have little time in the morning since I don't have to prepare many seasonings other than mentsuyu.
Your bentos always looks so yummy! I start tasting them just looking at the picture. :)

ReplyDeletemy husband would love this!! but i always have a hard time frying the meat until it is cooked...its always a little raw in the middle...so sad.

ReplyDeleteI know, I sometimes have the same failure. So I try to allow meat to get room temperature in advance and cut it into a thinner slices (if it's a chunk)
