Dim Sum Bento

Dim Sum Bento

This has one big pork bun, a few shrimp shumai with sriracha dots on top, and a side of kimchi. Too much sriracha would make the dumplings too hot! On the other side of the bento there is rice with fishcakes on top and a couple of mini cupcakes.

Here is a close up of the bun and shumai. So yummy!

Sea Theme Bento

These pics were taken over a year ago but I hadn't really uploaded them anywhere else. I started this Bento Bonanza Blog so I can share the bento, bento ideas and recipes, and bento resources with you and anyone else that's interested in Bento. Bento Boxes are creative, tasty, healthy, and over all fun. Let's make Bento together!

When I first started making bento I had absolutely no idea what to do with them. I've seen lots of really amazing bento around the web, most of them colorful with themes. This bento is no way as awesome as those but I thought I'd share as this was my first bento ever. This is my sea themed bento.

On this side we have a whale that is made from a steam bun, BBQ pork if I remember correctly. The tail is a mushroom and the expression is made from seaweed.

This side is just colored rice and seaweed fish. It is decorated with mushrooms and green onions for seaweed.
