Lately I've been getting more and more into bentos. They're really fun to make, and great for having a little to go meal in your purse. If you don't know what a bento is, here's a couple examples:
(Is anyone else super into these like I am?)

Omg, they look too cute to eat!![]()
I have wanted to start making these so many times, but I'm so awful and lazy with anything involving the kitchen.
What do you put in yours?
I love Bento! Here is a link on how to make em: http://www.instructables.com/id/Crafting-a-Bento/



I love the FlickR.com bento groups! I think I get more excited about food porn than porn porn.
I'm a rookie home sushi roller (just started making hand rolls decently), and I like making sweet chilli stir fried chicken fillings, or lightly frying silken tofu which has been marinated in soy sauce, sushi vinegar, and rolled with wasabi mayo and cucumber.
Haven't made a bento before, but yesterday I went out to a Korean restaurant and had a Japanese-Korean fusion bento. Salad, takoyaki, dumplings, daikon radish, steamed rice and spicy Korean-style pork. It was great as it took a while to eat with chopsticks, plus there were plenty of little things to keep a boredom eater like myself satisfied. I didn't get near finishing it because I got the impression of eating a lot, even though I don't think I really did.

Anyone have anymore history/info on this. Is a bento any home packed lunch? Or does it need to be colourful and Asian inspired? I've had bento boxes before, but they've never looked that pretty!


OMG those are amazing! I have never even heard of these!! They are so adorable and look so healthy! I'm about to get into these real quick...I think they would be perfect for my new diet and trying to eat healthier kick I've been on as of latley! Thanks so much for sharing, I'm getting some kits to start making my own asap!

Bento is Japanese for lunch in a box, from my understanding. Most bentos are not super cute and full of colorful accessories, but thats how I like mine! I love taking them to work because they are small and a good substitute to a microwave meal, so yes very healthy.
When I started making mine I didn't have an accessories and I just used a tupperware.
It is easy to get started, this website is helpful!

^^Thank you!
As soon as I saw this, I got all kinds of yummy, healthy things to make. Then I realized I didn't have the "right" box, so I just used tupper ware too. Mine don't look anything like that though.
But I'm definitely going to practice.![]()





Any bitch tries to ask me for anything from my bento is gonna stabbed in the eye socket with a chopstick!!!![]()

Im totally going to start making these! I love decorative food, but the only thing I've ever see Decorated in such a cute way were cupcakes. This is so much better for me and something I can look forward to making everyday. So excited to start making bentos!!
These are amazing! I think its so cool someone loves Bentos enough to have an entire blog about them.![]()





These are amazing!! I always have fruit and nuts or seeds in my purse, and sometimes a little container of chickpea salad or something, but you have just inspired me to pretty up my snacks!
I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

I am totally going to try this. I am going to make them for my kiddo, too. He eats nothing but PB and J in his lunches. And my husband--I could put the sushi rolls in his.
How do you make sushi, anyway?

^Sushi is really easy once you get used to making it. The first time I did it I screwed up royally.
Ohh my gosh this website is excellent!!! Just found it.

I get mine at Uwajinmaya in Seattle or Daiso.
But you can get them cheap online on ebay. Should only be $10-$15.
I love that people are excited about this!
