Happy Halloween! Happy Invader Zim Bento

It looks like a few of the Irkens (and happy bee) got their holidays mixed up. But I guess a few people go trick-or-treating while dressed as a rabbit. Either way - these non-human life forms are having a good time!

Ingredient List:
Radishes
Green Bell Pepper
Vegan Sausage Patties (Bulgur and Green Lentils)
Sticky Rice
Sriracha
Soy Cheese
Plum
Grapes
Broccoli
Carrots
Mushrooms

Enjoy!

Skips The Yeti Bento

Unfortunately my "egg" sheet didn't turn out right because someone had accidentally bought extra-firm tofu (and I used the wrong pan). I would suggest using medium-firm for the strength and some smoothness, but silken for total smoothness. I added a little High-Five Ghost onigiri from the leftover rice and made Skips a bit more adorable with sriracha cheeks and nori eyes.

Tomatillo
Grapes (two colors)

Black Bean Falafel
Spinach
Oven-Dried Tomatoes

Enjoy!

Here Doggy Doggy!

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.
