Karaage Bento and Frying Pan

Happy Saturday! Finally July or already? More than half a year has passed away?!? So Christmas is coming soon? Hah I can't be so comfortable any longer haha.

The first bento of July is Karaage bento. Karaage, Japanese fried chicken, one of most popular bento dishes here in Japan. It's way much better than KFC. I was crazy about KFC as a child though. I still remember clearly when my mom got me a box of KFC combo snack for the first time in my life! It had a couple of fried chicken pieces, a cup of corn, a cup of coleslaw, a bun, and some fried potato in it, and along with a cup of coke! Ah I came up with an idea just now, KFC style bento! How about it? I'll have to make it sometime. Don't judge me, I sometimes adore *junk-ish lunch*.

I also fixed Thai-conscious harusame (bean starch noodles) salad besides karaage. Why Thai-conscious? I used nampla for flavoring, but not that the salad itself is exact Thai harusame salad (yum un sen), I just used nampla. And of course I also used other seasonings, vinegar, sugar, and so on.

I bought two frying pans the other day. Please don't say it has nothing to do with this post. Frying pan is a must for quick bento cooking, right? And a cuuute one is more necessary to make it fun, right? So I was a bit excited to have these pans. That's why this picture is here. However, you can never see the painting while cooking in the pan hehe.

Happy long or usual weekend buddies!

    Thank you! Yea they are so handy and it's fun to look at several frying pans hanging on the kitchen wall. I usually make bento with only a small one though ;)
