I prepared Bobotie last night, a Southafrican dish which always encounters a vivid success at home. As usual I made sure that I cooked up enough to fill a bento for today. Little mishap in the kitchen though: my rice cooker had a shortcircuit :o( I smelled something burn and was looking all over the place for the source of the smell but couldn't detect anything unusual ... that is until I wanted to check on the rice to see how near to readiness it was. And obviously it wasn't ready at all. Guess who has to go shopping for a new rice cooker this weekend?
Back to the bento. I have a serving of bobotie, some rice topped with radishes and the last of the tian as extra greens. For dessert, I packed a piece of apple, more strawberries, an apicot and a mini plum hidden beneath it all.
Bon appetit.

I love stirfries : they are easy to make, quickly done, the veggies keep more vitamins than by cooking/boiling them and as you only use a wok, the amount of dishes to be done afterwards is also reduced to a minimum.
The only downpoint, as you can tell by looking at this picture, is that it looks so downright messy in a bento,which everything poking out in every possible direction, as if the greens were hit by some kind of natural disaster. :o( Luckily the taste didn't suffer from this lousy presentation.
Back to the contents : for today, I packed balsamic sesame chicken pieces and a mediterranean stirfry composed of green beans, red and yellow bell pepper, zucchini, potato wedges and baby carrots. For dessert, there are grapes (black & white), strawberry, nectarine, kiwi, orange.
Exact same ingredients as the previous one, so nothing to add :o)
