Me too. You'll like this one. I made this several times, for others this time...

Japanese karaage (fried chicken) with a Potato Korokke (croquette), some veggies, and wasabi cucumbers.

Yup. But I wanted to throw something green in there...and I had to make do with what I had. :beaten:
If I had some asparagus or nasu (eggplant) it might have been a bit more complimentary in a traditional sense. Hehe.

I agree.. it's far too green for that dish! You should give it its own plate.. move it to a plate where it can be appreciated on its merits, rather than have to compete with the highly fried :)

I was looking for the quick, convenient donburi (bowl) form factor meal :beaten:

Thanks, Esther. It usually comes out pretty good...now that I've had some practice preparing it.

Awesome. Wow, you can make omurice. That's pretty impressive! I haven't tried to make it...I don't think I have the skill to get the hanjuku (semi-cooked or soft cooked) omelette right draped over the rice. :sweat:

Well now that you have a bento, perhaps you will be inspired. Those bento pics above are pretty inspirational! Have fun.

Maybe some cooked spinach or cabbage would've been more appropo. :)

LOL, exactly... It's like salt: a flavor enhancer. :mrgreen: :victory:
