Bento#95: Fried Rice Bento, with Egg Sheets

I’m out of food to prepare a normal “2 dishes 1 soup” lunch today because I’m still “stuck” at home with my kids who refused to go to the office! If I’m at work, I will go out and get some grocery, and I don’t stock up a lot of food in my fridge. So, I could only fix my kids fried rice with all those frozen food (mixed veggie, minced pork, leftover luncheon meat) in the fridge. But to make the simple fried rice nicer, I added in their favorite characters (so I thought) with fried egg sheets.


I separated the egg yolk from the egg white. You can do this in the normal way, but I used this “tool” from Daiso. I’m not good at doing this without the tool. :P

 


Pan fry a thin layer of egg white, and when it’s done, pick it up and leave it on a plate (preferable not plastic as it’s still hot). Use Winnie the Pooh cutter to cut out a shape in the middle. You can use any cutter of your choice.

 


Fry a thin layer of egg yolk and before it’s done, layer the egg white above it. They should be able to stick together.

 


I did the same with Hello Kitty cutter, but started with egg yolk first. Don’t worry about the edge of the egg, you can cut it off later when it’s done.

 

After everything had cooled down, I packed them in lunch boxes.


My boy’s Winnie the Pooh with fried rice hidden beneath. I decorated it with nori and lunch sheets punched with seaweed punchers. There are some grapes and tomatoes too.

 


My gal had Hello Kitty in her lunch box. I substituted the tomatoes with watermelons.

 

Anyway, my gal doesn’t eat egg, but she took a few bites. That’s an improvement. But my boy told me, “Mommy, can you stop fixing me Pooh bear? I think I want Eeyore in my bento already.”

BTW, there are so much that you can do with the lunch sheets. Check it out.
