I would like to make a bento I am just not sure what all might go in one.What are some things in a bento?
Bento, or o-bento, refers to a packaged, single-portion, portable meal that is usually eaten at lunch, but also comes in larger sizes meant for use at picnics, dinner, and parties. A bento generally consists of rice or noodles and some form of protein (e.g., meat, poultry, fish, tofu) accompanied by side dishes of raw, simmered, or pickled vegetables. There are many different types of bento boxes, ranging from traditional handcrafted wooden lacquerware to disposable containers 鈥?see Bento Boxes and Accessories for examples. Most bento boxes have compartments or internal dividers for separate dishes.
