What started out as bento curiosity has turned into a full blown obsession. Bento boxes are fun, but in the end, its about getting my kids to eat...something, anything (with some nutritional value).
Tri-tip that has been marinated in a Korean galbi marinade along with oi muchim (marinated cucumber) are what the kids are having for lunch today. Also in the box is white rice with some Pokemon nori cutouts. In a small separate container, there are some fresh whole apricots and a small packet of furikake.
Last night we had marinated tri-tip for dinner, so for lunch I cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and reheated them in a grill pan. I made some fresh salsa and fresh flour tortillas and turned it into a mini fajita lunch for the kids. I added some grapes for color and a nice sweet bite afterwards and put the salsa in a separate container. I think they will love this.
