Bento Forest
June 11th, 2008 . by Jill
So after a period lacking in creativity when it came to food, I’ve picked up on being adventuresome! I’ve been craving some easy summer salads that would work well as a meal. The last two nights the salads have had a quinoa base. Leftovers work well in bento!
This bento contains cut up baked chicken thighs, soaked and cooked quinoa, and steamed broccoli, asparagus, and carrots. I also had a side of soy-ginger dressing. I was attempting a bit of a landscape theme so you would see a cliff of chicken “rock”, a sky of quinoa, and a forest of veggies.
Of course I then had more veggies so the forest overgrew the rocks!
