I wanted to make a cute bento dish, and came up with this. I tried making it with thinly pounded chicken, but it has a nicer shape and a more tender texture with pork belly. The flavour of the soy sauce soaked plum is absorbed by the meat and makes it delicious.If you fry it too much, the shiso leaves will lose its freshness and green colour, so be careful Pork belly is thin, so it doesn't take that long to fry.It's also nice wrapped with cheese, mentaiko and nori instead of shiso and uemboshi.

This is our family recipe for shiso-pork rolls!Use melting type or non-melting type cheese, whichever you prefer. However, if the cheese is sticking out from the ends, it will ooze out when you pan fry the rolls, so make sure it's not sticking out when you make the rolls.For small children, use honey-marinated umeboshi. For 4 servings. Recipe by Chisora

This recipe is an entry for the international bento contest. I made this recipe because I wanted people to realize the goodness of foods produced and grown in the Tokyo region.Edo sweet miso has a strong sweet flavour. If you use regular miso, add a little bit of sugar to it. When I made this dish, I wanted to make a lunchbox that didn't rely on granulated dashi stock for flavour, but had a deep savouriness from the ingredients themselves. Recipe by Mishatomo

I got tons of umeboshi as a gift, and came up with this recipe!Make sure the meat doesn't fall apart when you roll them up. For 2 servings. Recipe by Hoshitosoranodining

My husband made this along with fried cheese bits. He wasn't too particular about he rolled them up, but the softness and juiciness of the pork worked well anyway. I like this better than round wraps!Super-easy! It's all about wrapping the meat! For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by Shuukana

I wanted to use delicious kabocha squash in a bento. I tried combining it with mountain wasabi.Mountain wasabi is quite strong, so please adjust the amount to taste. For 1 serving. Recipe by Yanagi Saki

I wanted to make a regional themed bento, so I used a magnolia leaf from our garden to make ho-ba miso and coated pork with it. I packed this in my husband's bento. When he got home, he raved, "when I opened the box I was so surprised! It was so delicious!" This is a flavor that's well known in our area, and my husband was very happy.I dusted the pork with katakuriko and blanched it quickly so the miso would coat it easily as well as cook through quickly, which is practical for bentos. Use whatever mushrooms you like. Mushrooms makes this dish really delicious. Recipe by Satomiwa

I'm always rushing in the mornings when I'm preparing our lunchboxes, but I didn't want to depend on frozen food! That's how I came up with this recipe. It's colorful and pleasing to the eye. It turned out to be a life-saver recipe. Go one step further and deep-fry these rolls for a change.The key is to add a few drops of soy sauce into the umeboshi. It adds flavor to the meat. Just add a few drops, or else it'll become too salty.The microwave time is an approximate. It depends on the microwave, so watch the meat and adjust the time. For 2 servings. Recipe by ramutomato

Our whole family loves our very own version of ginger pork.I always pack a "ginger pork bento" for my husband the day after we have ginger pork for dinner, so I use a bit more meat than usual. For 4 servings + enough for a bento. Recipe by Chisora

I miniaturized the tonbei-yaki (a large filled omelette like dish that's a speciality of the Kansai region) that we usually have for dinner and put it in a bento. It made my son really happy!I put this in his bento whenever he gets bored with the usual tamagoyaki.If you add too much milk to the egg mixture, the egg will rip easily. For 1 serving. Recipe by Koutakerumama

I thought of a colorful and hearty meat dish.It has a slightly sweet teriyaki kind of taste so it is also tasty when you add yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) sauce. Recipe by Naopu
