Yes - it's another member of the "Regular Show" Gang, Mordecai! He's surrounded by delicious food, but this time he IS the food. Don't worry though, Mordecai made it out of this dastardly bento - and into my mouth.
Ingredient List:
Sticky RiceVegan Tempura (Wasabi Tofu)
Carrots
Steamed Tofu
Black Bean Balls
Nori
Radish
Parsley
Wasabi Tofu Recipe:
1/4 Package of Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2-1 tsp Wasabi Paste
Enough Rice Flour (Mochiko) for Coating and Pasting
Water for the Paste
Vegetable Oil
Salt to Taste
Slice your tofu through the the middle and again into thick "steak fry" pieces. Press the tofu until as dry as possible and then roll it in some of the rice flour. Meanwhile, take a pair of chopsticks and mix your wasabi in a bowl with the rice flour. Once fully incorporated and a bit lumpy, stream in the water until it's a thick paste. Place your floured tofu into the mixture, coat it, roll it in the flour and place it back into the paste. Fry them off for about 30-45 seconds on each side or until crisp, then bake them off in a 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes. After that you can lower the heat to 200 degrees after you've prepared the rest of the bento. Be prepared to see a lot more of the gang soon.
Enjoy!
