Yakiudon and Purple Salad and Oyakodon

Haaaahh look at these! Edible sapphires! Seriously I'm thinking that I want to wear pieces of these purple potatoes as accessories. I'm getting lately a purple addict, purple woman or purple monster?!? No no I'm just a purple-eater lol! As a matter of fact, it's not that I love all of purple things. I only love purple vegetables.

This time I grabbed odds and ends together from the fridge and made yakiudon (stir-fried noodles). And a purple veggie salad with a tiny pouch of sesame dressing. (You can stick a pick into a dressing pouch then squeeze it onto your salad.) A cup of very berry yogurt for dessert.

    Wonderful bento! I love your purple potatoes! They are just awesome in color. Do they taste sweet or taste like the ordinary potatoes?

    Beautiful!! I am super excited because I just found purple sweet potatoes (they were labeled Okinawan sweet potatoes) at the Korean grocery this weekend, so I think it's time for some purple pie :D Will you post a recipe for oyakodon?

    Thanks Lia :) They're normal potatoes, but somewhat dense and sticky as compared with ordinary white potatoes. They are available at a quite low price at the supermarket nearby. It was a great deal!

    Yes you should for sure! They have a real fantastic color. I like the white/purple gradation of these potatoes in particular.

    wow, what a beautiful meal... the tiramisu custard (in the cute cow cup again!) is the perfect ending treat. the purple potatoes do look like lovely jewels, and as usual you have emphasized the naturally vibrant tones of the food in such a harmonious way :-)

    Hi babykins!
    I discovered your blog this morning. I love it! I started makes bento some months ago and I really enjoy it. I'm Italian (from Florence), so for me it's something totally new... I'm interesting also in Japanese cuisine.
    Your blog is such a source of great ideas! Thank you for sharing with us.
    Have a lovely day,
    Carolina
