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 wanted to vary a normal teriyaki chicken.Cut the teriyaki chicken into small pieces, put into cases and freeze. When required for a lunch box, just microwave a little to warm it up!If you use a whole chicken breast, steam in the marinade over a low heat to keep it moist!Check that the meat is cooked through before coating with the reduced sauce. If it is not cooked through, cook completely in the sauce. Recipe by Kougakubu Danshi Daigakusei

One of my favorite ten-don restaurants closed. In my quest for a similar ten-don sauce, I tried a lot of different varieties and this is to my liking.Reduce the sauce until you have almost half the original amount. This will make a thick, sweet sauce. You won't need all of it, so drizzle some over rice and store the rest. Recipe by Shijimi24.

Sweet and sour fish which is also known as an escabeche. Quick and easy recipe to any kind of fish 🐟

Green bell peppers and eggplant were in season this summer and autumn in my garden!I added some chicken breast that was on sale for around 100 yen ($1) to make dinner!It looks like sweet and sour pork so I cooked it using a similar sauce. It'll taste better when cooled if you use just a small bit of sauce. It's delicious in bento, too!-It's nice even without doubanjiang spicy bean paste!-Substitute chili oil or ichimi togarashi (japanese red chilli pepper) for the doubanjiang spicy bean paste.-Adding extra bamboo shoot, carrot, onion and shiitake mushrooms would be perfect. Like sweet and sour pork!-Do not stir fry the bell peppers too long or they'll lose their crunchiness.-Reduce the sauce at the end so that ketchup and vinegar are less acidic. Recipe by moj
