I followed about 3/4 of this tutorial/recipe on putting together a bento box from Vegetarian Times: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/stir-fried-tofu-bento-box-with-sesame-soba-noodles-and-ginger-carrot-broccoli/
I didn’t make the ginger-carrot broccoli on account of not having either carrots or broccoli on hand. I did have some washed and spun red lettuce and some bell pepper so I made a tiny salad out of that instead. I really struggle with going out and buying new ingredients when I have perfectly good ones kicking around in the fridge just waiting to be eaten! Syrupy balsamic vinegar is in the bottle to dress the salad.
I also improvised with the shelled edamame – I just tossed them in some chili-garlic paste instead of having them flavoured with the carrot and broccoli. Lazy!
Morning snack will be a Greek yogurt and afternoon snack will be a granola bar – one with chocolate chips in it, akin to what we feed children. Long day tomorrow!

yum! that tofu looks divine. (so does the rest of this bento, of course!)
Oh my goodness. It is so good. Between the garlic powder, tamari, and nutritional yeast it has so much flavour. I used medium firm because I like it crispy on the outside but soft inside. I snuck a piece of tofu when assembling the bento and just want to eat it all now. If you only make the tofu part, it would be worth it!
Now that looks like a perfect bento to me!
Thank you 🙂 This was one of the prettier bentos I’ve made in a while, and certainly super-tasty. I will definitely make elements of it again!
Is soba noodle popular in your country? dried soba noodle?
Your bento is much healthier than mine.><
I don’t think it’s as popular as pasta, but I enjoy it! This bento is over the top healthy. I am trying 🙂
