Nigiri sushi bento
Since right now I’m addicted with sushi making, I tried to make some sushi for my bento. I didn’t aim high on my first attempt, just a simple assortment of nigiri sushi. Since I don’t have experience with raw fish and decided to avoid it for now, besides I really don’t know if those raw salmon or tuna can be put inside a bento box for hours and still good to eat later.
So the safest choice was using cooked shrimp, tamagoyaki, and sausage for the nigiri. The rice was made with my nigiri rice mold. I wanted to make the nigiri by hand but since I already bought the mold for a long time and haven’t use it, I’d better use it now. The Indonesian term for this behaviour is called “gak mau rugi” (lose translation is don’t want to incur loss).
I put the usual broccoli chunk for filling and the elephant sauce container fill with soy sauce. For the other bento box, I filled it with cucumber rolled with ham, edamame and carrots (cut with vegetable mold) in a pink silicon container, and a mini mandarin orange.
I have to go to another town to attend my wife’s aunt funeral for 2 days, so until next time …
Very adorable sushi! This is indeed the safest; raw fish is not a good idea for bento which will be eaten hours later.So colorful and pretty bento as usual
Thank you Sheri, for the tip also ^_^
I love the color, very colorful
Thank you mushima
Nice bento and nice picture as always … You’ve got into the sushi lately
Hello Lia, yes I really enjoy making sushi, still need lots of practice though …
Wha, those nigiri are great! Hehe, especially how the octo looks. Like screaming for help, because he is enamored. This looks all fresh and yummy!
Have two nice days! ^-^
Hello there Lil’chan, thanks for the comment, really appreciate it ^_^
these are great, something i’ve been wanting to do too esp the octopus looking one. well done.
Hi javapot, the octopus makes really good decoration for any bento and it’s very easy to make, but do not boil them, just put their legs on a low heat frying pan for a minute.
