Bento: Cannonball Bento

Today I'll show you an easy bento!

The Cannonball Bento

I've put lots of stuff in it!

The cannonballs are very easy!
You take cooked sticky rice for onigiri ... you make a ball and if you like, you can add something inside like an umeboshi .. if not, you should take flavoured nori! Rip it in pieces and stick it around the rice. Done!

The other things are chicken teriyaki, vegetable sticks, broccoli and beni shoga! The flowers on top are cheese.

I think, almost everybody knows nowadays how to make teriyaki chicken, but I still post the recipe:

For 2 Bento portions:

300g chicken thigh (best boneless, if not, be careful!)
2Tbsp mirin and soysauce
2tsp sugar
cooking oil

1. Marinate the meat in the soy sauce, miring and sugar for 30 minutes. Drain, pat dry, but reserve marinade.
2. Cook the chicken in the oil, skin side down. When browned, turn and cook the other side.
3. Add 50ml to the reserved marinade and pour the mix over the chicken.
4. Cover and simmer until cooked through. Remove the cover, raise the heat, and reduce to sauce do glaze. Slize.
5. Toss in the glaze.

Done! :)
