mirin carrots bento
Hi there! A quick bento today with sliced yellow and purple/orange carrots braised in mirin and then lightly steamed, served up with dilled salmon salad and fresh-picked arugula.
I love how your bentos always look so natural and especially the flowers and greens that you use. Lucky you, to be blessed with such a climate. Here it is below zero still. I ventured out to our allotment garden today, but besides lambs lettuce there was nothing edible to be found. Even to cold for the chives to sprout and grow. So I appreciate and enjoy your pictures showing me that spring eventually is going to reach me as well.
Yummy bento and love the colors of the flowers, so pretty!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rina, your comments are a treat!

Hi Saffron and Coriander, thanks for your lovely comments and the delight of your latest spring-y bento blog post, it really refreshed me :)
