Happy Bento Friday!

Today’s bento is a salmon candy onigiri bento. Two salmon candy onigiri, ground pork ramen salad, and a berry medley. いただきます。

Salmon Candy

#

I’ve smoked salmon before, the wife loves it, but I’ve never made salmon candy before. It is definitely a bit sweeter, a bit saltier, and a bit firmer in texture. I think I like it more. I used the recipe from the Project Smoke cookbook by Steven Raichlen. A short summary of it can be found here. Put some rice in my onigiri molds, press it down, add salmon and more rice, press down again. Done.

Ground Pork Ramen Salad

#

My mom has been making a broccoli ramen salad for years. I am not a fan but I liked the idea and wanted to try my own. The result was tasty and I may come back to tweak it again in the future.

Berry Medley

#

Fresh blueberries and fresh raspberries go together like blueberries and raspberries. Yum.
