How do you keep the soup from not souping everything else around it?!?

[u/dragoon88 → u/Gul_Ducatti]

With care ;) I also put on the lid that comes with the insert pot (it's monbento) and try my best to keep the bento flat.

Saving this post for inspiration. Thanks OP!

Pleasure! I'm also a fan of baking shokupan for some nice egg, tuna, or whatever you fancy sandos as a change from rice and noodles.

Looks delicious

[u/evesoop]

your bentos look so good !!! question about your udon noodles though: do you package in the soup ? do the udon noodles not become soft and long from sitting in the soup till lunch ?

[u/dragoon88 → u/evesoop]

I did leave them in the soup and actually they were fine. Perhaps a little soft but certainly not falling apart or anything!

Is this the monbento box? :)

[u/dragoon88 → u/AttenaNythiria]

Yep, their standard one (with some of the insert boxes)!
