Ice Cream For The Birthday Girl!

Tomorrow is my sister's birthday so I decided to put in some of her favorite things for lunch today. She loves strawberries and she especially loves peanut butter with sriracha. It seems odd but it does work in small amounts - but all that matters is what she likes. I used my egg mold and the same "egg" recipe as usual to make Hello Kitty and then I pasted on the crust of the sandwich onto it with tahini.

Bento Ingredients:

Tahini

Frozen Strawberries

Vegan Hello Kitty Egg

White Chocolate Peanut Butter (from Peanut Butter & Co)

Sriracha

Spinach

Nori

Whole Wheat Whole Grain Bread

Happy birthday sis and enjoy!

This isn't a bento but it can be easily modified to be placed into a cupcake tin for a bento. It's a vegan egg from this recipe with sriracha and plenty of veggies on the bottom. The trick is to fill about 3/4 of the holder with vegetables and just to allow enough brown rice to cover a bit of the bottom of the "egg". I used the cheap (clean) egg used for pantyhose to make this so that I didn't have to cut anything in half. Then I added some sticky rice mixed with soy sauce around the edge to make it softer and more of a mound shape. Then I added some sliced spinach and spring onion. It looks kind of like something from the Yum-Yum Bento Box by Crystal Watanabe and Maki Ogawa doesn't it?
Obviously not as cute - but it's a first and unique try.
