Bento No.4
Top tier: Japanese short grain rice sprinkled with roasted black sesame seeds, umeboshi plum.
Bottom tier: Edamame in their pods, cherry tomatoes, sauted carrot and burdock kinpira, sliced and steamed broccoli stems, mini hamburg sitting on top of sauted spinach leaves with a teriyaki onion sauce.
I think this has been my favourite bento so far!
When I was at FujiMart in Prahran the other day I found frozen burdock already cut up into matchsticks. Oooh..how fantastic! Regular burdock can be such a bother to prepare, so this is a real timesaver.

Thanks for the tip on burdock - Jane Lawson who wrote Yoshoku did a soup with burdock. But finding it has not been easy.
Thanks for your great work.

Would be interested to hear how your burdock soup recipe turns out!
