Onigiri Bento and Awards

I don't know what to name my bento... I call it 'Onigiri Bento' simply because there are 5 onigiris in the bento boxes. Two at the back are filled with prawn tempura and three at the front are normal onigiri without any filling.

Besides the onigiris, I filled in the bento boxes with Japanese rolled omellete or 'Tamagoyaki', Beef Yakiniku, chicken nuggets, Hawaiian piccolini, green beans/ham rolls, two quail eggs, broccoli, strawberries, blueberries, green grapes, cherry tomatoes and oranges.

Beef Yakiniku

• 500 g beef steak, thinly sliced
• Flour to coat the beef slices
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 medium sized onion, thinly sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 sweet bell pepper, sliced
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 3 tablespoons sake
• 3 tablespoons mirin
• 5 tablespoons soy sauce
• Sugar and white pepper to taste
• Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

• Heat 2 tbs oil in a wok.
• Add miced garlic and onion. Stir fry until fragrant and slightly brown.
• Toss in the flour coated beef slices and fry for about 1 minute.

I have also received another award a few days ago from Veny, a very nice and lovely woman in Indonesia who loves to eat everything 'enak-enak' (which means delicious) :D). To receive this award I need to tell you 7 things you might not know about me. I want to pass on this award to all my blog readers...:)!

1. I am in my 20s. I have the impression some people think I am much older ...;)!
2. I currently live in Germany, but I used to live in Sydney and Jakarta as well
3. I love reading books, especially something related to history : The Renaissance, The Tudors, The French Revolution, etc.
4. I love Barock and Rococo style, this might have been influenced by the manga I read when I was a little girl - The Rose of Versailles by Riyoko Ikeda.
5. I hated shopping and fashion when I was younger, but now I do enjoy shopping very much and I love wearing pretty clothes and accessories (even though I cannot always do this every day unfortunately...!)
6. I am a quite shy person and I am very bad at small talks. But once I have got to know you better, I could be crazy too at times and would show the sides you would never imagine I possess ;).
7. I am rather paranoid - one reason why my profile picture is a bunny. But believe me, I am as cute as that bunny, hahaha...;)!!

Alright folks, that's it for today....!
