I transformed some cutlets to make them tender even when cold using thinly sliced pork. This` is what I arrived at.For the 2 step simple coating recipe, I made an easy-to-use amount. So there is a good chance that you will have leftovers. What I recommend is dipping some kabocha squash, eggplant, onions etc. or whatever veggies you have in your house and then frying them all together. They're delicious. Recipe by Hokkori-no

I took my previous recipe Milanese-style Chicken Cutlets with Basil Oil,and turned it into a bento-friendly recipe that is easy to freeze.[A few variations]You can make the basil sauce separately from the chicken and then just coat the chicken as it goes into the bento with just the amount of sauce you want to use.With the 2 step coating, please adjust the amounts of the panko bread crumbs and then Parmesan cheese as you desire. For an easy to make amount. Recipe by Hokkori-no

I decided to try changing how I cut the chicken that I cook for dinner, so that they will still be delicious even when chilled.During Step 1, add in the seasonings exactly in the order I have listed to tenderize the meat.You can enjoy these with some tonkatsu sauce or ponzu etc.You can also just have this for dinner too.

When you think of bento, you think of something that's heavy with meat, but not so much of fish. So I decided to make easy-to-eat fish fries for my child.When you are cooking this for a bento, try to not cut them after frying because they tend to fall apart. Instead, cook them in smaller chunks so that they fit into the bento box.Try enjoying this with some Japanese-style Worcestershire sauce, etc.This also goes well with mentsuyu and mayonnaise.Of course, you can also eat this fresh out of the fryer.

I wanted a satisfying omelet using only a single egg, so I added cabbage to bulk it up.If you're simply serving it on a plate, you don't necessarily need to steam the omelet. If you're making this for bentos, it's easy because all you do is stop after Step 5 and microwave for about 40 seconds in the morning. Recipe by Setsumika

When I froze leftovers from dinner to use in bentos, making bentos in the morning got a lot easier. So now I make pre-frozen things just for bentos.You can sprinkle on some dried basil with salt (rock salt and so on) instead of the basil oil.If you use extra virgin olive oil, I think it's more fragrant and tasty, but you can use regular olive oil or vegetable oil instead.

There are too many bento recipes that are soy sauce flavored, so I decided to make a salty version!Cut the meat diagonally to ensure that it is still tender when you eat it.In Step 3 when you're adding in the katakuriko and mixing with chopsticks, if it's still to dry, just add a little water till it's no longer dry.In the morning, just take it out and heat it up for your bento. This totally has saved me. Recipe by Hokkori-no

This is a standard recipe in our home.Step 2: If making this for a bento, don't add onions.You can use less eggs if you want (basic katsudon uses 3-4 eggs for 2 servings).It will be even easier to make if you use mentsuyu.Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar to suit your tastes.

A friend informed me that frozen tempura is great for bento-making, and I've been following her tip every since.The sauce is really simple, and can easily be whipped up on busy mornings.Keep a close eye when toasting as the kakiage is prone to scorching.If the heat is still on when you add the sauce, it'll boil down so turn it off immediately and then pour.

I made this one night for dinner and had some leftovers. I froze them and then reheated them the next day and they were delicious. I decided to make a version for bento!If you are worried about the smell from the scallions when putting in a bento, you can just mix in the green onions in Step 4 before freezing. Recipe by Hokkori-no

I often make hamburgers with tofu added, but this is another recipe I've been making for a long time.Italian hamburgers steaks:Hamburger Steak Curry:These are good with teriyaki sauce or other flavors.*Use lean meat rather than meat that has a lot of fat content.*For bento, shape the meat into smaller shapes before cooking.*If you're using a small onion, use half of it.*You can top the hamburgers with cheese if you want and then top them with sauce.These are also good with teriyaki sauce or shiso leaves + grated daikon radish topped with ponzu.

I previously uploaded a recipe titled [Inexpensive & Filling Chicken Breasts! Juicy Fried Chicken]. I took this and reduced some of the ingredients slightly and then made it into an easy-to-freeze amount. If this recipe makes too much for you, then half everything.Since this is for bento, if you're worried about the garlic, then just add a small amount in or you can completely omit it all together.You add in shichimi spice, but it's just an accent, so it's not going to be overly spicy.Adjust it if your children are going to be eating this.
