Easter Parade Bento

31 comments

As promised, here is another Easter-themed bento... Easter chicks in costumes ready to attend an Easter parade :). The chick in the bear costume looks rather unfriendly, he's probably not very happy that he needs to wear a costume and parade it around ;).

The basket is filled with 2 chick-onigiris, my version of quick and super simple Pork Bulgogi, 3 piccolinis, 2 half- hardboiled eggs (meant to look like chicks in a seal costume), a few pieces of strawberries, 2 slices of kiwi, a few pieces of grapes, red currant and lettuce.



Quick Stir-Fried Pork Bulgogi
  • 500 grams pork, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 7- 8 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons hot pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
  • Sugar to taste
  • Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
  • Heat oil in a wok. Stir fry pork, minced garlic and onion slices.
  • When slightly brown, add soy sauce, hot pepper flakes, Gochujang and sugar.
  • Continue frying until the pork is cooked.
  • Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot with rice.

If you are a careful observer, you would have noticed that the chick in the bear costume has a much friendlier expression in last two the pictures of this post. I didn't like his grumpy face at all, so I finally changed his eyes and made them smaller and slightly rounder.


He still looks sad, but doesn't he look like a more well-behaved chick ;)?

That's it for now, it's getting quite late again here. I hope I can post my Peter Rabbit cake tomorrow. I have made the figurines but haven't baked the cake yet. Hopefully I can complete the cake tomorrow!

  1. Your edible art work is so cool. Not just that, it actually looks delicious. I don't think I have the heart to eat the two chicks parading as bears but I'll be glad to eat the bulgogi and the egg chicks on top of it.

    @ Nami - My husband and I always eat the bento meals, we're just a household of two (well, plus our four furry, long-eared creatures, but they don't eat bentos ;))
