Three Spring Bento Sisters

The title doesn't have any special meanings haha. But as you see, spring has come here at last woo hoo!!

Tofu/chicken soboro bento. I'd like to share my healthy yummy soboro recipe sometime. I'm ready for a sakura picnic. However it looks like I have another few weeks to wait. I just can't wait!!

Chicken nanbanzuke with tarutaru sauce, potato salad, tamagoyaki slices, and a candy omusubi. I *remade* karaage (fried chicken) that I'd made the night before into nanbanzuke. Nanbanzuke is a combo of tarutaru sauce and fried chicken marinated in a mixture of shoyu and mirin and vinegar. It's so tasty that I hope to write the recipe also.

Rice sammy bento. Rice sammy is easier to make than onigiri and norimaki. And also much easier to eat. I put pork soboro, thin tamagoyaki and tarako in them. It's okay to put in whatever you like that goes well with rice.

I baked chocolate cupcakes the last weekend. Fluffy and flavorful. I'm so happy with the result, but I need to complete this recipe. Then I'll share it!

Fabulous weekend!!

  4. Oh you didn't know of them? Tarutaru is tartar sauce, tarako is salted cod roe. I really want to write a recipe every day if I could. It's a bit difficult to write in English for me to be honest :)
