Here's my second entry for hapa bento's B.O.M.B. contest this month! This bento contains roasted sweet potatoes, radicchio, and from hapa's amazing recipes, sweet miso roast chicken and roasted baby bok choy. On the sweet side: bananas roasted with honey and a blood orange wedge. Debra's bok choy recipe includes a honey-sesame oil-salt dip that combined with the tender but slightly bitter bok choy made this dish off-the-charts yummy!
I found these leaping bunny chopsticks at Lotte Plaza this weekend:
Along with these juicy blood oranges:
Oh my, your bento looks great! And I love your new chopsticks ^-^ They are so cute! Love Asian bunnies. ;) and such delicious blood oranges, oh! Delicious =)
ReplyDeleteHi Lil'chan!
ReplyDeleteAw, many thanks! These bunnies kind of leapt into my heart :)
oh my god the colors are so great!! *__* It looks so delicious and I'm in love with your beautiful chopsticks! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteHi Token,
ReplyDeleteYour comment made me smile--thanks! So glad you liked this bento...and the cute bunnies :)
Yay, delicious bento! You've got color matching for the bento box and cute chopsticks too. So nice to see your blood oranges, very rare here and difficult to find. Great pictures, love it (^.^)
ReplyDeleteHi Lia!
ReplyDeleteYour comments are so very nice! Yes--the color was a pretty exact match. Thanks for stopping by, my friend!
I love picture of leaping bunny,too! Have some bunny items. This bento also is delicious!!
ReplyDeleteHi babykins,
ReplyDeleteWould love to see your bunny collection as part of your beautiful bentos! I highly recommend these recipes--hubby and I ate a couple of pounds of baby bok choy with dinner this way and loved it!
All I can say is Bee-U-T-FUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really really love the sweepingly natural look of this bento, and the dark red of the blood orange is stunning. WHen I first peeling mine, I got a shock because I forgot they were the blood ones! You take such lovely shots. What is your camera?
Roasted bananas!!! I'm gonna do it too. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely presentation as always. Beautiful interpretation of "roasties". (word borrowed from sherimiya)
Hi sherimiya!
ReplyDeleteDon't blood oranges have a kind of vibrant majesty? We were thrilled to find them at an excellent price at Lotte this weekend. For a while, Trader Joe's carried the MOST amazing organic blood orange juice from Sicily in these beautiful glass bottles.
It became our favorite mixer ever...until like many a TJ's product we'd fallen in love with, it left their shelves. For a short while we spent silly amounts buying it by the case from an online distributor!
So glad you liked these photos, thank you! I used a Nikon E430.
Hi there hapabento!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, do roast up some beautiful bananas! They are like 10 times as good this way! And thank you for your lovely comments, fantastic recipes and seasonal, savory cooking inspiration!
