Description Since I have Veteran's day off tomorrow I wouldn't get to make a bento meal so I decided to compromise and turn the bento snack that I usually make today and make it into more of a bento meal. I've put a few things in that I haven't tried before and some old favorites that I haven't had in a while. This bento contains:

Top Layer:
2 Onigiri: Shisho (left) and Ebi (right) Furikake
Leeche Jelly with Little Spoon
Bunny Container with Ketchup
Bottle with Wasabi Shoyu

Bottom Layer:
Apple Bunny
3 Fried Shrimp
Pice of Nama Chikuwa (fish cake) Cut in Half and Stuffed With Cucumber Strips
Blueberries Sprinkled with Sugar
Green Tea Mochi

Please Enjoy~!

They are similar to dango, but they are not the same. Dango is made from tofu, mochi is made from rice four. They have a similar texture though.
I'm always game to try new things too!

Oh, cool! I would like to try both although I have tried tofu by itself and did not like it; no flavor lol. Guess it's meant to be made into something.

No you have to make tofu flavored with something. It's like chicken, it takes the flavor of what you cook it in/with.

I bought them from Jungle Jim's. It's an international food market near me. You can order furikake online though!

Aww thank you so much! Your kind words warm my heart
I understand about time, I usually prepare half or more of my meal at night and then finish up the rest in the morning.

Demi-Plum In reply to Kiwikoala1 [2010-11-11 00:50:22 +0000 UTC]

I've had ice cream mochi before. But I think it was actual ice cream filling. I bought a package that has Sesame, Taro, Azuki, and Green Tea. They're all very good

Nothing wrong with that. Bento don't have to be all decorated and pretty. A good bento doesn't what it needs to do

Demi-Plum In reply to Kitnami [2010-11-16 01:17:16 +0000 UTC]

oh wow! yes when you first start making things for bento you don't know how to portion things out.
Word of advice: only make one starch/carb item ^w^
