Unlike the traditional method, I plan on soaking mine in soy sauce or ponzu like a ramen egg. :) Can't wait til my molds and cutters arrive! I've also picked up a really nice little mini-muffin teflon pan for making tiny turkey patties and homemade protein packed mini snacks. No reason I can't decorate those little guys like onigiri. And I can totally have cheese stars!
Great Bento Box & Lunch Options:
- mini meatlings - lamb, chicken, turkey, beef (try adding stuff like kimchi, shredded zuch, ricotta, and natural pairings like lamb & feta)
- marinated eggs
- cajun shrimp + dollop of protein grits
- Deviled Eggs - omgsh
- Cucumber "Bread" Sandwiches
- Egg Salad - made from all the practice eggs for molding
- Cauliflower rice
- mini fritatta cooked in metal cookie cutters
- hummus/ricotta/white bean puree stuffed into every hole - peppers, tomatoes, my mouth
- chicken/salmon/tuna/egg/turkey salads (oo I need to pick up some little icecream scoops - easy way to measure oz's quickly)
- Meat Babies aka meatballs
- turkey scotch eggs
- kebabs - "put a stick up it!" or "stick'em up!"
- egg cups - I wrote this down earlier and I don't know what it means now. Egg cups. ?
- roll ups
- broiled chicken/fish - v. traditional japanese
- paleo muffins
- crabcakes/shrimpcakes/salmoncakes
- edamame
- cheese and crackers - CHEESE
- fresh fruits and veggies - but not tooo fibrous
