Little Bear and Puppy Hamburger Bento

20 comments


Wow, today's bento has got no rice in it...;)!! I have actually made a hamburger bento in the past when I just started bentoing, it was my 4th bento. I do like eating hamburger, but I have to admit that I am more a rice and noodle person than a bread/sandwich person, that's why most of my bento boxes usually always feature either something with rice or noodles.

One big advantage of this type of bento (burger/sandwich) is that it's quite simple to make - I at least think that it's easier than moulding rice with plastic wrap to create a cute character. So if you're a real beginner in the bento arena, you should start with this type of bento.

For the little bear hamburger, I used cheese, nori and deli meat to create the facial features. A decorating tip or a fat straw would come in handy to cut out the circles. I cut out the nori for the eyes manually, but if you have a nori punch, it would be a great help!

The puppy hamburger is decorated with cheese and nori for the eyes, nose and eyebrows and tomato for the tounge. The pink cheeks are made out of deli meat and the ears are cheddar cheese.

I made the hamburger patties with a recipe which I created myself out of the blue. They tasted great though, so don't be scared to give this recipe a shot...!

Hamburger Patties
- makes 8 -10 patties
  • 500 grams ground beef/pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 5 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • Pepper and sugar to taste

Mix all ingredients together. Divide into portions and make into patties. Pan-fry until each side of the patties is golden brown.
