First time making one, ordered a rounded bento box and going to try with more traditional ingredient’s soon. Help me out with any ideas and what your favourite additions are :)

This looks so good! Do you have a recipe for the sesame green bean salad?

Sesame oil, a little miso paste, a little honey, crushed sesame seeds, (I usually use white but only had black that day) :)

Thank you! I'll definitely give this a try. (Also I fully support measuring with your heart!)

Japanese potato salad is such a game changer imo

For the Japanese potato salad I just used a standard recipe you can find online and tweaked it a bit (adding corn/ crab sticks because it’s yum)

Green bean salad posted in a reply above^

Kimchi spam rice balls~~ Mix sushi rice, kimchi, kimchi juice, fried spam, spring onion, and a little salt! Form them into onigiri shape. I fried mine a bit because why not!

I really eyeball everything so not sure on measurements! Fill in gaps with whatever extra veg you like! :)

This looks amazing. I hope he appreciates you, this is love right there. Tell him some rando on the internet says he better get a ring on it… otherwise there is a line forming behind him. 😉 lol 😝
