What foods go into a bento box?

I've looked every where and for the life of me I cannot find anything.

I was hoping to make a Bento meal for my family and friends and I know that Rice and some Japanese pickles goes in but what else?

Also my family including me is vegetarian so if you can tell me any vegetarian Bento stuff that would be amazing~

Thanks a lot. :3c

And if it's not too much to ask could you please type/link the recipes to any dumplings, patties, etc?

Thanks again~What foods go into a bento box?

Hello Rosita, The typical Japanese bento lunch box consist of a meat, rice and some vegetables and/or pickles. The meat can be a variety of fish such as salmon, or fried chicken, pork cutlets, sausage, hamburger. The rice can be plain or consist of a topping sprinkled on called “furikake”.



For an easy Japanese bento lunch box try some boiled white rice or onigiri (rice ball) with a rolled omlette and a few small main dishes like karaage (Japanese fried chicken), hamburger, tonkatsu (deep fried pork cutlet), gyoza (dumpling), spring rolls, mini sausages, potato or pasta salad.



Here is a Recipe link for Gyoza (Japanese style dumplings)

How about some vegetarian sushi rolls? Cucumber or radish maki?
Tofu is also great if you're vegetarian. You could cut some into interesting shapes too, just don't forget the spring onion and soy sauce. ^_^
You could try making some oriental stir-fries or Japanese salads.

Here are a few recipes:

How about to put Cap Cay in your bento? Its not Japan, but Chinese food, but I think its fit for your bento and rice. Cap cay is mix vegetables stir fry, I usually eat it with rice.

Tempura vegetables and somekind like mushroom nugget.
