simply siopao

Simple siopao, broccoli and miso


I'm getting to the last of the siopao so they're getting smaller. I didn't feel like cooking so we ordered out and I made a quick bento for tomorrow instead of using leftover dinner like I usually do.

Usagi bowl



The top part contains a packet of instant miso soup with tofu and the chicken-filled siopao fits perfectly in the bottom container. I used one of my new veggie cutters for the carrots and made some edamame.

When I drained them, the carrots stained my strainer. T_T If I'd known it would stain, I would have used the other one. I'm sort of weird about staining. Oh well. Now I know for next time.

In any case, I am loving this new bento bowl. At first I was afraid it would be too small, but I think it will be great. It doesn't fit together as tightly as I would like, but that's what the elastic is for. ~_^

It is actually one of the last few that I was allowed to order. I've been going a little crazy buying new bento boxes; I need to slow down. -_- I have 2 more on the way, a big serving bento, plus the one I'm bidding on -- but I don't expect to win that auction. Anyway, it's better because now I can focus more on the food. And with the serving bento, I'll even be able to post to my groups on weekends. ^^
