Bento #23: Sanshoku Donburi (05.05.09)

Bento for Tuesday, May 5, 2009:


Bento contents:
* Sanshoku donburi (3-color rice bowl): Rice topped with (from left to right): corn, beef soboro (a bento staple which there are many recipes for; the recipe that I based it on can be found by clicking here), and spinach seasoned with soy sauce and sesame seeds
***
Today's bento is a simple Japanese classic. Sanshoku donburi is colorful, versatile, and nutritious. It is a bento lunch staple in Japan, particularly for childrens' school lunches. If you're curious, here are a few links to photos of other sanshoku donburi combinations and recipes to try (FYI, I have not tried any of these recipes):
