Bento#Nov21~Little Chicks Bento

I still have left over egg sheet so I thought of making design egg sheet. Just a simple design to make them into Little Chicks ^_^ Still can be improve as I only use one medium egg white for this design. Will try again for better result! So, today's lunch I cooked fried rice and cover with Little Chicks egg sheet. 
Little Chicks Egg Sheet:
First I use egg shape cutter to cut out my left over egg sheet. I cut out 4 chicks to fit in well into my bento box. Next, take an egg & just want the eggwhite to make this design. Mixed the eggwhite with some cornstarch/water and strain to a new bowl. Take a non-stick pan, pour the eggwhite mixture then lay the cut out oval egg shape on top.  Let it rest and make sure turn off the heat as you don't want the eggwhites over cooked :p
Final touch is to add nori for cute different expression. 
As for side dish I just add tamagoyaki, cherry tomato, ketchup (chick sauce container), fish cake, oranges, cucumber and apple as leaves.
Ta-da....simple lunch bento for today and I hope you will like it ^_^ Have a great day! Cheers!

Bento#July09~Boy & Girl Bento

I bought new cutters so going to use it for today's bento lunch. I spend quite some time on cooking and carving the apples/cucumber so "Boy & Girl" didn't dressed well with more decoration =_=" In this bento, I stir-fried angle hair noodles (a bit watery not dry because my kids liked it) with vegies, prawns and mushroom. Next, I add the noodles first then followed by the rest of the ingredients. The "Boy & Girl" were made from egg white sheet and used the cutter to cut. Freehand nori cut out the details and punch out the face features ^_^ If have more time, I'll decorate more on their clothing :) 
For another container, I carved the apples and cucumber as leaves. Smoked ham as flower and small cucumber flower too! 
I hope you will like this simple idea if you have the same cutters but I'm sure you will do better than mine ^_^ Cheers!
