Bell Pepper Kinpira - recipe from the Just Bento cookbook
Black Grapes
The Mister's bento was almost the same - he got Carrot Kinpira, because he doesn't like peppers that much, and I gave him cheese cubes instead of the cottage cheese.
Carrot Kinpira recipe here (though I added some dashi as well)
The kinpira reduced a lot more than I thought it would - mine is 3 mini bell peppers and it doesn't even fill the container! His was about 8 baby carrots and, same thing!
The cottage cheese recipe comes from my great aunt - I really never liked cottage cheese before. One day she was visiting my granny and whipped out a container of it mixed with the cheddar, green onion and a dash of salt & pepper. She said she never liked it either, but once she tried it this way, she couldn't stop eating it - I agree! It's really quite good (you don't use much salt at all and can omit it entirely if you'd like. I just prefer adding a tiny amount to cut the slight sweet edge that cottage cheese has)
