After that, she went back to school for a Choir meeting. I made her lunch bento and took the shot with a stalk of Sunflower from a bouquet that a 'fan' gave her on the 2nd night of the musical performance.
In the left box, I fried some tonkatsu and had some onigiri cylinders topped with black sesame seeds. There was a tub of tonkatsu sauce.In the right box I had some braised vegetable roots (Gomoku-ni) consisting of burdock (gobo), carrots, daikon (raddish), lotus root, 1 block of konnyaku and shiitake mushrooms. Actually the recipe called for chicken but I chose to give it a miss. I blanched some broccoli and cauliflower in salted water and drizzled some Japanese Kewpie Mayo on it. Pickles is a definite must and I added some shiba zuke and finally to appease her sweet tooth, I put in two nimm2 soft centered citrus sweets.

Bento Pet, may i ask if the eel sauce sold at the aisle at the supermarkets are for marinating or for dipping?
wow..your daughter has a fan already at such a tender age..
allthingspurple: I'm not sure because I don't cook eel (Unagi). Usually I buy the ready ones and just steam it over. There is normally a packet of sauce under the eel.
If you are looking for other dipping sauces (for chicken or beef), I can recommend you some if you are interested.
Good morning bento_pet.
All foods in this Bento are my favorite!!
By the way, Are you Japanese?
nobu: Good morning Nobu.
Hahaha! You are not the first to ask me this question. No! I'm as Chinese as you can get!
I was exposed to Japanese food at a very young age and went for my first culinary journey under a Japanese Chef from an International Hotel at the age of 19....many moons ago!
My family and I love Japanese food and I actually cook better Japanese food than I do Chinese. *laughs*
