[Recipes] Quick Lunch Bentos For Kids Aug 15th 2013, 03:52, by Ellena | Cuisine Paradise It's past mid-week and I am sure everyone is looking forward to weekend. In this post, I will be sharing 5 different quick lunch bento (with two recipes) ideas which you can prepare for your kids or yourself in a way too. I am always delighted to create my bento with "colourful" items which brighten my day or for the one who eats it. Although I might not be a skillful bento maker like some of those experts who makes really good character (charaben) bento (example, Samantha Lee) but in a way I am happy with what I can do for my boy. And I am sure you can make simple bento too with a mixture of bread/rice, meat and some sides with fried stuffs, fresh fruits and vegetables I am sure you can create something interesting out from the box. SANDWICH SUSHI ROLL Sandwich sushi roll can be a quick breakfast or tea snacks which you can prepare for your kids at anytime of the day. To make it more nutritious, wholemeal or mutli-grain  bread can be use to replace normal white bread together with addition of some lettuce and cucumber in it. And also you can choose fillings like egg, tuna or chicken mayonnaise depending on their preference. (Serve: 1   | Preparation: 10 minutes | Cooking: 10 minutes) Ingredients: 1 Slice of Wholemeal Bread 1 Slice of Sandwich Cheese 1 Hard-boiled Egg 1/2 - 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise Cucumber and Salad Green Side Dishes For Bento Bento Tools: Bento Box Side Dishes Food Casing Food Cutters For Decorations Cling Wrap Food Tweezer and Small Scissor Drinking Straw and Dried Spaghetti Method:- 1. Place all side-dish in food casings and arrange them on one corner of the bento box. 2. Put bread on a sheet of cling wrap, using a rolling pin to flatten bread slightly then spread a tablespoon or more of egg mayonnaise on it leaving 2cm free along the other end of the edge. 3. Top with lettuce and cucumber strip then lift up the bread and place it on top of the "cheese stars" (cut out from sandwich cheese using heartshape food cutter). 4. Roll up to enclose filling then cut the sandwich into 4 rounds. 5. When done, arrange the rounds on the food case and you are ready to serve it with the sides. PANDA ONIGIRI BENTO Have you thought of making Onigiri (rice ball) using bread? With sandwich bread that can be easily get in all household, you can use it to  make cute animal onigiri like what shown above. Instead of Panda, you can shape and decorate it to look like dog, cat, pig and etc base on your creativity. Below is a simple recipe and step-by-step photo guide on how to make the bread onigiri.
