Thai Meatballs Bento
·
Today's lunch is a leftover from yesterday's dinner : rice, thai meatballs, snowpeas, minicorns and pak choy with a bit of chicken broth. For the fruity vitamins I packed an apple which didn't make it in the picture though.
I'm running a bit out of time right now, so I'll post the recipe tomorrow. ETA : done, see below.
Bon appetit.
