A Standard Bento Item - Parboiled Spinach with Sesame Seeds
If you don't measure the sesame properly, the taste ends up being too strong. (Maybe this is just me.) You can get the standard taste with just one teaspoon.
I recommend using coarsely ground sesame seeds, not finely ground.
That produces the right degree of absorption of soy sauce and texture.
An easy-to-remember proportion of ingredients: 2 tbs, 2 tsp., 2 tsp. (or 6 tsp, 2 tsp, 2 tsp.)!
In other words, with any spoon size, you can use a ratio of 3:1:1. Recipe by Maruchiwawa

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Parboil the spinach, chill immediately in cold water, then cut into desired lengths.
- 2
Combine the ★ ingredients. I recommend using coarsely ground sesame seeds. (The photos show a double proportion of the mixed ★ ingredients since I had a lot of spinach on hand!)
- 3
Squeeze out excess water from spinach, then blend with the seasoning right before serving. That's all it takes. The proportion of spinach should seem sparing compared to the amount of seasoning.
- 4
People who use this recipe keep telling me they can't stop at just tasting it. Many also tell me that their veggie-hating children gobbled this dish right up!
- 5
I buy spinach on sale, then cook up a whole bag for future bento use. Divide it into aluminum foil baking cups and store in the freezer.
- 6
(In the wintertime, I pack it in the bento box the night before and store it in the fridge overnight to thaw. In the summertime, I put it in the bento box frozen and it acts as a substitute for refrigerant packs.)

A Bento Box Gap-Filler! Wiener Sausages with Sauce and Sesame Seeds A Bento Box Gap-Filler! Wiener Sausages with Sauce and Sesame Seeds
I like combining sausages with yakiniku sauce or with ground sesame seeds.Many members use sausages with yakiniku sauce and mayonnaise in their recipes. I took it upon myself to create a recipe without mayonnaise. I decided to try with just yakiniku sauce and ground sesame seeds.Adjust the amount of yakiniku sauce to match the thickness and length of the sausages. If too much oil renders from the sausages in step 2, absorb some of it with paper towels. Recipe by Nyankochansan -

Bento & Breakfast Onigiri with Bonito Flakes and Sesame Bento & Breakfast Onigiri with Bonito Flakes and Sesame
I'm so grateful this recipe has been featured in a cookbook and received over 1,000 reviews! I often get requests for this onigiri, even though my repertoire is small. Toasted sesame oil adds a rich flavor.How this recipe was born:Shortly after I got married, I only had cold rice in the fridge, but needed to make onigiri. I thought, 'Maybe if I mix something in, it'll work?' Since then, this has become a staple onigiri in our home.

Basic Inari Sushi for Bento Basic Inari Sushi for Bento
This is a recipe my mother taught me.Make the inari sushi the day before if possible, and stuff the rice the next day. They will taste even better that way.Use a puffy type of aburaage for best results.When you heat sushi vinegar in the microwave, it loses some of the flavor of the vinegar, so don't microwave for too long.
