Bento experiment #1
Bento lunch
This morning I got a little creative with my lunch and the result almost looked like a bento lunch box. From left to right:
- 1/2 cup of steamed white rice, 1 carrot cut in sticks
- 1 chicken breast fillet, diced, cooked in a pan without oil, just some spices (I used Schwarz Grilled Chicken mix: peppers, parsley and garlic). When the chicken is half cooked, add half an apple, diced, and finish cooking. The mix gets a nice brownish color and it’s tasty even though there is no oil 
- 1/2 apple, 1 pear, diced; and some fromage frais (French fresh cheese, it tastes much like plain yogurt).
Total calories: approx. 400.
Veeeery light indeed! But hey, with this World Cup week, we’ve been having pizza, BBQs, wine etc. a bit more often than usual
For the rice, I used the trick I found on this awesome website, Just Bento: during the weekend I steamed 2 cups of rice and then froze them in portions (1 cup and 1/2 cup). So I had a total of 5 cups of pre-cooked rice ready to de-frost in the morning. Very nice!
PS: sorry I forgot to fix one carrot eye, I didn’t notice it and then I ate my lunch and it was too late to take another picture
