Bento boxes are a single-portion take-out or home-packed meal common in Japanese, Taiwanese, and Korean cuisines and other Asian cultures where rice is the main staple food. A traditional bento holds rice or noodles, fish or meat, with pickled and cooked vegetables, in a box.

5 slices Senmai-zuke Daikon

Lovely looking rice bowl dish with three toppings – egg, beef mince and peas. You can use pork mince or chicken mince if you like and the green element can be chopped snow peas or even spinach. Bento box recipes like this are perfect for a kid’s lunch!
Ingredients:
2 servings of cooked rice
Mince
200g (0.4lb) beef mince
½ tbsp finely chopped ginger
1½ tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sake
1 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sugar
½ tbsp cooking oil
Peas
1 cup of frozen peas
A pinch of salt
Iri Tamago (finely scrambled egg)
2 eggs
½ tbsp sugar
1 tsp sake
pinch of salt
Decoration (optional)
2 round slices of carrot cut into flower shape
Instructions:
Add oil to a small pot or fry pan over medium high heat. Add ginger and stir for 30-60 seconds until you can smell the ginger fragrance, then add the beef mince. Stir fry the beef mince, making sure to break up the beef mince into each grain (It should take about 5 minutes). When the beef mince is cooked through, add the remaining mince ingredients and mix together. Occasionally stir the ingredients until the liquid is almost evaporated. Be careful not to burn the mince. Turn off the heat and leave it aside until required. Boil 2-3 cups of water in a small saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and frozen peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes and drain. Add the Iri Tamago ingredients in a bowl and beat lightly. Heat a small pot or deep small frying pan, preferably non-stick, over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Use two pairs of cooking chopsticks together and stir vigorously until the eggs are cooked through. The eggs should be broken up into small pieces, like the beef mince. Place rice in 2 bowls. Make sure that the surface of the rice is flat and level. Using a spoon, place half of the cooked beef mince on the rice, covering ⅓ of the surface, then add the eggs next to the mince covering another ⅓ of the surface. Fill the remaining ⅓ with the green peas. Repeat the same for the other bowl. Place a carrot flower (if using) or any edible substitute in the center for decoration.

It’s called bento soup because it is a bento box inspired recipe. Bento box recipes like this are an amazing take on the traditional Japanese cuisine.
Ingredients:
4 ounces soba noodles
4 cups organic vegetable or chicken broth, homemade or store-bought
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil or hot pepper sesame oil
1 (6-inch) strip of kombu
3 green tea bags
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1/2 cup stemmed and sliced shiitake mushrooms
4 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons tamari
1/4 cup white miso
2 scallions, white and green parts, sliced diagonally
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups loosely packed baby spinach
Instructions:
Fill a soup pot halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt and the soba noodles and decrease the heat to medium. Cook, stirring gently on occasion, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse well under cold water to remove the starch. Immediately transfer to a bowl, drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon of the sesame oil and toss gently to coat. Put the broth in the same pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to low, add the kombu and tea bags, and simmer for 4 minutes. Remove the kombu and tea bags with a slotted spoon. Add the carrot, mushrooms, tofu, tamari, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Put 1/4 cup of the hot broth in a small bowl, add the miso, and stir with a fork until the miso is dissolved. Stir the mixture back into the broth, then stir in the scallions, lemon juice, and remaining sesame oil. Distribute the soba noodles and spinach among six bowls and ladle in the soup.
In many bento box recipes, there is typically a protein element. However, this bento box teriyaki pineapple steals the show with its sweet and savory flavors. Steamed green vegetables and quinoa speckled rice round out the meal.
Ingredients:
¾ cup quinoa speckled rice
¼ cup tamari
2 tbsp coconut sugar
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp cornstarch
5 oz baby bok choy
5 oz broccoli florets
1 cup edamame
8 oz pineapple
1 oz pickled ginger
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 tsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
Instructions:
Combine the quinoa speckled rice, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until all of the water is absorbed, and the grains are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. In another small saucepan combine the tamari, coconut sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder, and ½ cup water. Place over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 2 tbsp cold water. Once the tamari mixture is boiling, add the cornstarch slurry and reduce heat to low. Simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Cut the baby bok choy in half lengthwise. Be sure to rinse between the leaves as they can hold grit. Place a large nonstick skillet over high heat with 1-inch water and a pinch of salt. Once the water is boiling, add the baby bok choy, broccoli florets, and edamame and cover with a lid. Cook vegetables until bright green and tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Slice the pineapple into ½ inch thick rings. Return the skillet to medium-high heat with 1 tsp vegetable oil. Add the pineapple and cook until caramelized, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low, add 2 tbsp of the teriyaki sauce, and toss to coat. Cook until sauce is sticky, about 1 minute. Scoop the quinoa speckled rice onto large plates (or into bento boxes if you happen to have them!). Serve the steamed vegetables, teriyaki pineapple, and pickled ginger on the side and sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds. Drizzle with any remaining teriyaki sauce.
This bento box was inspired by the autumn bento box recipes that laughing planet was featuring a few years ago, full of ginger-soy tofu, kale, pickled beets / daikon / pears / carrots, curry roasted squash, jasmine rice, orange-sesame miso sauce and sesame hazelnut gomasio.
Ingredients:
Marinated Tofu
1″ knob ginger peeled and minced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 T sesame oil
8 oz block tofu cubed
Garlicky Cucumbers
1 cucumber thinly sliced
1 T chili garlic sauce
Pickled Daikon
1/2 medium daikon peeled and thinly sliced
1 T white vinegar
1 T granulated sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
Curried Butternut Squash
1/2 butternut squash peeled and cubed
1 T Thai curry paste
1 T canola oil
Sauteed Kale
leaves from 1 bunch kale
2 cloves garlic minced
1″ knob ginger peeled and minced
1 T minced lemongrass
Sesame Hazelnut Furikake and Assembly
1/2 T sesame seeds
2 T shredded nori
2 T toasted hazelnuts chopped
1/4 tsp coarse sea salt
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 cup cooked rice
Instructions:
Marinated Tofu: In a shallow container, combine everything. Mix the tofu occasionally while it marinates in the fridge (preferably overnight, though 30+ minutes works too).
Garlicky Cucumbers: Mix everything in a medium bowl.
Pickled Daikon: Mix everything in a medium covered container (I like using an old jam or pickle jar). Let marinate for 15-20 minutes, or preferably overnight. These are good for a month in the fridge.
Curried Butternut Squash: Whisk the curry paste and oil until homogeneous (there should be no chunks of curry paste). Toss with the squash, then spread on an oiled sheet tray. Roast at 450F for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender.
Sautéed Kale: Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add everything with a pinch of salt, then sauté until the kale is wilted.
Sesame Hazelnut Furikake: Mix the sesame seeds, nori, nuts and salt in a small bowl to combine.
Assembly: Using a bento box (or whatever shallow and flat resealable container you want), divvy up the tofu, cucumbers, pickled daikon, squash, kale and rice. Drizzle the sesame oil over the rice and sprinkle with the furikake.
Pick up a couple of uber-trendy bento lunchboxes for this one. They help control portion sizes and assist in making sure you’ve got enough starchy carbohydrate and protein—each should make up a quarter of the dish—plus loads of colorful veggies. Ginger chicken bento box recipes are only one idea, but there are so many variations on what you could pack into them—think salmon, edamame, tofu, or seaweed salads!
Ingredients:
For the chicken
250g skinless chicken thighs
1 tb fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tb honey
2 tsp light soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
For the rice
1 cup brown rice
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
1 cup water
For the salad
1 baby cos lettuce, shredded
1 carrot, peeled and julienned
4 radishes, thinly sliced
For the dressing
2 tsp sesame oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp honey
1 tsp light soy sauce
juice of ½ lemon
Instructions:
The night before you’re going to make this, place the chicken thighs in a bowl with the grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir through, cover, and leave to marinate in the fridge overnight. Preheat your oven to 210 degrees Celsius. Combine the salad ingredients—lettuce, carrot, and radish—in a bowl. Mix the dressing ingredients together and pour over the salad. Toss well to combine. Place to one side. Rinse your brown rice in cool water, then transfer to a pot. Pour over the stock and water. Bring to a boil over a high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through. Strain any excess water and use a fork to ‘fluff’ the rice. In a heavy pan, and without any additional oil, cook the thighs for 2-3 minutes on a high heat on each side, to seal. Remove from the pan and transfer to a roasting tray. Use a pastry brush or similar to coat the thighs in honey, then cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Leave to cool for five minutes, then slice the meat. In your bento box, arrange the chicken on top of the salad, with a side of rice. Sprinkle spring onion slices and sesame seeds over the top and serve with pickled ginger if you’ve got some. Season to taste.

Like all good bento box recipes, this recipe combines several complimentary dishes, including baked aubergine with miso, Japanese rice seasoned with spring onion and ginger, and, of course, the steak teriyaki itself. Who knew a packed lunch could be so gourmet?
Ingredients:
pickled cucumber:
1/2 cucumber
20ml rice vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar
1 pinch of salt
1/2 tsp ginger, finely grated
baked aubergine with miso:
1 aubergine, cut into 1cm slices
1 1/2 tbsp miso paste
2 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sake
1 knob of fresh ginger, about 2cm, grated
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1 tsp groundnut oil
1 handful of coriander, chopped
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Japanese rice with spring onion and ginger:
150g japanese short grain rice
180ml water, cold
100g frozen peas
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
1 knob of fresh ginger, 2cm, grated
1 tbsp groundnut oil
2 tsp rice vinegar
4 tsp mirin
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
iced water
steak teriyaki:
100g beef fillet, cut into thin slices
3 tbsp mirin
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp cornflour
1 knob of fresh ginger, 4cm, grated
little gem lettuce, 4 leaves
1/4 cucumber, cut into cubes
2 radishes, finely sliced
1/2 red onion, finely sliced
1 tbsp chopped coriander
2 tsp groundnut oil
pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions:
Begin by making the pickled cucumber. Cut the cucumber in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Slice crossways into very thin slices. Place the rice vinegar, sugar, salt and ginger into a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the cucumber to the bowl and mix through to coat the slices evenly with the mixture. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas. To prepare the baked aubergine, place the miso, mirin and sake in a large bowl and combine to form a smooth paste. Stir in the ginger and spring onions. Add the aubergine slices to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly in the sauce. Grease a large roasting tray with the oil and arrange the aubergine slices in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly. Bake for 20 minutes, until soft and golden brown. If the aubergine is drying out, splash with a little water. While the aubergine bakes, prepare the Japanese rice. Place the rice in a sieve and wash under the cold tap until the water runs clear. Rest the sieve on a bowl and leave to drain for at least 15 minutes. Remove the aubergine from the oven and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and chopped coriander. Set aside until ready to serve. Place the rice in a saucepan and add 180ml cold water. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and immediately reduce the heat to as low as possible for a further 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave for another 10 minutes without removing the lid. Meanwhile, cook the peas with a pinch of salt in plenty of boiling water for a couple of minutes, then drain and place the peas in a bowl of iced water. Place the spring onions, ginger, oil, rice vinegar, mirin, sugar and salt into a small bowl and mix to create a sauce. Fold the peas and sauce into the rice and allow to cool. For the steak teriyaki, place a frying pan over a high heat until really hot. Add the oil and flash fry the beef fillet for a couple of minutes. It should still be pink in the middle. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate.
