Weekend bento making fun continues!
I think I’m slowly getting better at filling this new BENTO box.
Little differences such as the length or the depth of the box makes each bento-box filling challenging.
In this vegan bento box you’ll find…
-Konjac steak
-Sesame Shun-giku
-Mustard Kabocha
-Spiced Yuzu Carrots (note for myself: tahini, white vinegar, water, sugar, spiced yuzu paste, salt)
Konjac is a very unique ingredient, popular in Japan, but not well known in other countries.
It’s a hard sell to people who did not grow up eating this because of its unique jello-like texture.
Konjac is made of some type of yam potato, and is well known as a “diet food” in Japan.
I love Konjac not because it’s a diet food, but because of its taste and texture.
It’s quite substantial, so it has no problem made into and served as a main dish, in my opinion.
And here is a one-plate version.
Which do you like better, bento or one-plate?
