Happy Bento Friday!

#

Today’s bento is a yaki onigiri bento. Slightly seasoned rice formed into onigiri and grilled is accompanied by an apricot chicken and broccoli stir fry and some fresh pineapple. いただきます。

Yaki Onigiri

#

I’ve tried making yaki onigiri a few times. I just can’t get mine to look exactly like they do in the pictures but they still taste great. This time around I tried Just One Cookbook’s recipe. It worked out very tasty.

Apricot Chicken

#

I like mixing apricot sauces with chicken or pork. This time around it was with chicken breast (as it was on sale). I use this recipe as a guide but don’t measure everything out exactly any longer. I do toss the broccoli in with the meat and sauce. You don’t have to roast the broccoli but it is tasty if you do.

Fresh Pineapple

#

Fresh cut pineapple doesn’t need much in the way of explaining. Still delicious.
