I combined ingredients my son loves to create a recipe that's easy to make for bento lunch boxes.The key is to cut the tenders into small pieces. It lets the flavor soak in and can be cooked quickly. Of course, you can also use thigh or breast meat. Recipe by makkocafe

This is our family's regular dish.-If the umeboshi is popping out, the chicken will spit when it's being fried. To prevent this, make sure to press it down and dredge well.-The chicken won't cook thoroughly if the oil is too hot. So, make sure it's just the right temperature. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

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. Recipe by Hokkori-no

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.In the beginning, patiently and thoroughly deep-fry the meat. Don't touch and flip them too much. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I wanted to create a simple recipe using nori seaweed.If you sprinkle the chicken with sake and sesame oil, it will be moist and tender. If you use a non-stick frying pan to cook the chicken you won't need any oil. Otherwise, just add a little vegetable oil to the pan. Recipe by Ayatan

I especially love the combination of nori seaweed and sea salt, so I tried it with chicken.*Pan fry the chicken on both sides over fairly low heat so that it cooks through to the center.*If there's not enough oil in the pan, add a bit more. For 2 servings. Recipe by annnnn

My mother used to make this for my bentos a lot.Be careful not to burn it when you are making the reducing the teriyaki sauce. For 2 servings. Recipe by maa1012

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. Recipe by Hokkori-no

I had a day where I didn't put any effort into any bento side dishes at all, so I thought that I should at least try to do something special with the rice. Ultimately, this is just a nori and rice bento.Pack the rice in so that the edges are slanted!When adding the salt, make sure to sprinkle it over the rice evenly. Whoever eats the bento shouldn't be able to see it!If you like a stronger flavour, then increase the amount of salt.Once you get a feel for how much salt works best for you, it becomes easier to whip up large amounts of onigiri for big events since you won't have to salt every separate batch. Recipe by Shijimi24

There are various recipes and flavors for karaage and I've tried a bunch of them. This one's what I settled on.Fresh ginger and garlic for a excellent flavor. No garlic is ok for a bento. The key is a generous amount of sesame oil. For tatsutaage, you can coat the chicken in katakuriko (potato starch flour) after Step 1. Recipe by Asamato

Teriyaki sauce from McDonald's is very sweet, but the mayonnaise makes it even sweeter and thicker. But I really love it - Sometimes I really want to eat it.I tried to recreate the Teriyaki flavor.Make sure you fry the chicken breasts quickly over medium heat as it gets hard when over cooked. The coating will slide off if you over touch it when mixing with sauce. Discard the melted mayonnaise (smooth oil) (it's just oily and tasteless). Avoid using low fat mayonnaise as it does not melt well with heat. Recipe by moj
