I wanted a main dish that could be made ahead of time.

Steps

1

Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper. Place it skin-side down in a pan and cook until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken, then add the sake, mirin, sugar, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Cook to season the chicken.
2

Remove the chicken and slice it. Simmer the remaining sauce in the pan until it thickens and reduces.
3

Make a thick rolled omelet (tamagoyaki).
4

Pack the cooked rice into a bento box. Add the sliced chicken with sauce, rolled omelet, spinach with sesame dressing, and simmered konnyaku. Add mini potato bites if you like.
5

For my daughter's bento, I leave out the mayonnaise.
6

Add umeboshi (pickled plum) as a garnish.
