Let's make bento meals

Do you like seeing the presentation of bento boxes? What I like most are the elements of each meal in separate sections in the box. Looks varied, and colorful. Of course, that will whet your appetite.

It's been a long time since I've been looking at bento boxes from Japan. They have many variations of bento meals that have cute and cute shapes. It will make eating at work or school a lot more fun. As a wife, I also make bento meals for my husband more often.

My husband always asks me to make bento meals when he wants to go to work. He doesn't mind if I serve vegan meals even though I often serve non-vegan meals so he doesn't get bored with my cooking. But the most important thing is to stay healthy.

Like this time, I will share the bento meals recipe. I will make this blog as my newest blog series. I hope this healthy bento box can be an inspiration for those of you who have to bring food to your husband or children.




Start With Air-fryer Potato Wedges

I chose a potato as the carbohydrate element in this bento meal. Start cooking with something that is roasted. So, I pre-processed the potatoes to save time. Make sure to preheat your air-fryer or your oven before cooking the ingredients.

Here, I'm just using one potato that makes two servings, for me and my husband. After peeling, cut the potatoes into wedges. But, you can also form potatoes into fries in general.

Then, prepare olive oil, salt, and ground pepper to taste. Cover potato wedges with those ingredients. You can also add other seasonings according to your taste.


Then, roast them for about 20 minutes on each side. Don't forget to turn the potatoes sideways so they cook evenly. Furthermore, while waiting for the potatoes to be cooked, I will prepare another meal.




Roasted Almonds

BC44C5E6-9CF5-4EF2-91B4-C144E1D819E0.jpegI just used a regular cooking pot, but no oil. Roast almonds until brown. Keep stirring and watching them so they don't burn.




Carrot Noodles

Being creative is an important key to the specialty. Especially in cooking. We will always be faced with many of the same ingredients. It takes creativity to create different dishes while still serving the comfort of the same taste for the tongue of the connoisseur.

In this bento box, I will make carrot noodles as the main center of interest in the bento. I've often made carrot noodles and my husband likes it. So, it was good to fill the bento box this time.

I took out the carrots I kept in the water in the fridge. This method was also just discovered recently. This is so that the carrots stay fresh and not wrinkled. Change the water every day. Oh, I feel excited to make carrot noodles.

Next, I have manual fruit shaving for slicing vegetables in the form of shavings like noodles. I'm going to make noodles in a carrot shape with this tool. This is an old favorite of mine that doesn't even cost $0.3.

I carefully scraped the carrots with a tool. I used a total of 3 carrots for two servings. The result was quite satisfactory, even though a bit of skin near my thumb was injured by the tool (no problem, that's the risk of being a creative chef ehehe).

On the carrots, the tougher centers were left and I shaped them like flowers. These flower-shaped carrot slices will make bento meals look more beautiful. Even though the whole meal is just simple ingredients, we have to add small details that increase the value of these bento meals.


Carrot Noodles Seasoning

33FBD9A9-F9BA-4F82-8403-FF37A8FB0078.jpegAs usual, just simple seasoning. Using chopped onion and garlic, and flattened ginger. Doesn't seem like much flavor. My husband and I are used to eating food with simple seasoning and not too much processing.


DE4822AB-D27E-4812-901B-9D4142BC030E.jpegHeat the oil. Then sauté chopped onion, garlic, and flattened ginger. Make sure they have a nice scent. This is enough to help the taste of carrot gingers become delicious even with only a few ingredients.


B991E1D6-9696-4838-95C8-EBE6A2EDCBCE.jpegNext, add carrot noodles. Stir them carefully because the texture of the noodles is smooth. I just stir-fry them for about 3 minutes. Can be adjusted each time according to your taste. Remove the carrot noodles and set aside while we prepare the others.




Stir-fry Broccoli With Soy Sauce

Whoa, this is my fav veggie broccoli! When holding broccoli, I can feel a lot of positive energy. Do you like broccoli?

For the stir-fried broccoli, I use soy sauce seasoning. More precisely sweet soy sauce, not salty soy sauce. That will give a mix of sweet, savory, but yummy flavors. The Japanese say it is an “umami” sensation.

Cut the broccoli, wash it clean, then prepare the chopped onion and garlic. Flattened ginger and 2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce.

9DABE537-09F9-4892-8A6A-EE54EB91B98C.jpegSauté broccoli for about 5-8 minutes depending on the texture that suits your taste. Don't forget to add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Put all the elements into the bento box. The first part is carrot noodles with the most portions. For the next part of the box, I filled it with potato wedges and roasted almonds. Last part, I filled it with stir-fried broccoli with soy sauce. Ready for bento box meals!

This is something great when your husband loves to eat what you eats.

In my case there are some vegetables that I love but my husband hates lol. So a lot of times that he will just buy viand outside and I will cook simple food for me and my son.

Im really grateful, I have husband who like vegetables a lot. Oh, honestly, it will be very difficult for us as a wife if husband did not like some veggies. We have to be picky things 😅

He rarely eat outside, except when his customer brought him to cafe/restaurant.

That's the best because eating your own cooked food is better and healthy.

Yes that's my problem and I didn't wonder why he is like that because most of his siblings are like him. They didn't like vegetables that's so soft and sticky like ladies finger and the like.

😍 Beautiful, delicious 💗

A pleasure to see your beautiful dishes. Regards @anggreklestari 🤗🌸

I am a fan of your photography and of course your recipes as well. Food photography is both my hobby and profession and I particularly love taking photos of Sushi and Bento boxes. But first time I came across a vegan Bento I had never thought that Bento boxes could be vegan too 🫣. Your blog post has truly broadened my culinary horizons and opened my eyes to new possibilities. Thank you for introducing us to the concept of vegan Bento boxes through your stunning photography and delicious recipe.

We can fill up bento box with non vegan or vegan Meals for sure. But just make sure we have completed elements to make us filling and get great nutrition 😊

Thank you so much for reading

Exquisite, how many ingredients have you used, I love your creativity, the carrot noodles are a great success
I appreciate you sharing this recipe and how we prepare it
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid day

We have to be creative in kitchen for variation of food results 😊

Wow, this is more than just impressive. I have seen carrot in different styles but turning it into noodles isn't one of them.

The process is quite simple but I don't have the tool to make that carrot noodles. Almond is not cheap here but I love to try this out.

Health is indeed wealth, it is important that we eat good always.

I tried my best to avoid processed food so much, so I Made them keep simple process
