I spent quite a lot of time working on this particular bento box, as you can see. I tried a few new things and was very happy to see how well things ended! It was pleasing to see the heart-shaped rice bed come out on my first try. I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not to be quite honest. I think I've developed a good technique, and hopefully I'll make a tutorial on it shortly!
The crab tamago rolls were a little tricky to make, but working on a low heat was vastly helpful. I only used one egg for this treat, and it turned out to be just the right size for the pan. After the egg had been cooked evenly, I placed a piece of fake crab onto the end of the tamago and began rolling it up. If you're having trouble keeping it together, applying a little bit of pressure can coax the roll to stay put.
I used one of the mini-cookie cutters I talked about in my first bento box post to cut out ham, cheese, and lettuce. I lined them all up and stuck a toothpick through them for an easy-to-eat bento shish kabob!
I found some very small paper cups somewhere in my kitchen that work the same way as partition grass. I was pleased to find such a good use for them, seeing as the package had been unopened! I little bit of blueberries looks good with the pink and green, and compliments all the warmer colors in this lunch.
Some cherry tomatoes and a kiwi gummy candy wraps this bento box up!
