Two days ago I made this bento for my husband. It contains rice sprinkled with black sesame seeds topped with umebosi, stir-fried coconut chicken, two rolls of chicken sushi maki, three pieces of pan-fried gyoza and salad.
My husband really liked the stir-fried coconut chicken. Unlike me who prefers her soups and noodles, he would always opt for wok dishes.

ReplyDeleteCoconut chicken sounds and looks so delicious! *recipe bookmarked!* ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! ♥
Chicken and coconut juice, sounds very tasty...always love your bento :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week and thanks for this nice recipe!
Ooh, yummy delish!
ReplyDeleteThat stir fry sounds great! I have not tried bento box yet, seems so intimidating making things so cute. Yours are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour coconut chicken sounds delicious! I had never had chicken with coconut flavor (unless it's in curry or something). I want to give it a try! I can only dream to have this kind of bento for my lunch....
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious, and beautiful as always! I had a question - did you indeed use coconut juice (like, the water stuff, right?) or did you mean coconut milk?... or maybe there's another coconut product I'm not aware of :D
ReplyDeleteYour husband is so lucky to have you packed so such a beautiful bento.
ReplyDelete@Charles - thank you for your compliment :-) . I used coconut 'juice', not milk, so you're right it's the one with clear colour. Normally it's sold in little cans.
ReplyDeleteAre you missing Spring or is it only my imagination that these bento boxes are greener than usually? They look lovely as always and I think I'll have chicken sushi maki very soon! I have never used coconut juice! I didn't know I could cook with it, thank you for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good! Love the colourful and yummy look bento!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious bento! You pack such beautiful and delicious bentos.
ReplyDeleteThat's so colorful! :) I will substitute chicken with eggplant (I'm a vegetarian) and try your recipe. By coconut juice, you mean the coconut milk and not the tender coconut water, right?
ReplyDeletehach deine Bentos und Fotos sind immer einfach Traumhaft^^
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I wish you could be my personal bento chef!
ReplyDeleteI tried the coconut chicken at the weekend in a Picnic Bento and all were very excited about it :) Thanks for the recipe - very tasty!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYou make art in kitchen!
