Wednesday Bento of Delights



Jan's bento for today includes (left) fruits, pickles, and wasabi peas mixed with M&M's; (right) a baked spring roll, a couple of sushi rice balls, shrimp quick-fried in hot chili oil on skewers, placed on a bed of lacinato kale seared in sesame oil, with a soy bunny and a plum sauce container stuffed in the sides.

I love these little crab and lobster skewers:



They were marketed as "cocktail spears" but they screamed BENTO to me!! The lobsters and crabs have kyoot widdle eyeballs!!!

  2. LuckyShipper on EBay after you recommended this seller! I had quite a little shopping trip with them and they shipped superfast. These picks are in the "cocktails" section of the site.

  5. I've got the same spears. In fact these spears were the first "bento-related" items I ever bought.
