15 minutes bento

Setting laziness aside, its nice to take advantage of ready-made eats that lined grocery stores. It sure cut my bento prep more than half.

Salmon onigiri needs about 3 minutes for the salmon to cook inside a microwave. Simply put the salmon, some garlic powder and pepper and its good to go. No need to put salt coz salmon meat are already a bit salty. Once the fish is ready, mash till the desired texture and mold using rice ball shapers and wrap with nori or sea weed paper. It takes about 5 minutes for the entire rice ball to finish (dont count the cooking time of rice syempre) I found really cute nori cut to different animal shapes. While waiting for the fish to cook start chopping the cucumber.

Usually rice balls have fillings inside. For the sake of color I put it on top. It wasnt messy to eat so I guess it was okay. Feel free to experiment with how to put your fillings.

Heat sausage and the fish fry for 1 minute or according to package directions if you are using frozen foods. At the same time warm the bread pocket in the toaster. Then assemble sausage pita, cut up some cherry tomatoes, spread mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper and add lettuce and onion if desired. This will take another 3 minutes.

Assemble all in bento boxes then add the vegetable roll. Ang bilis!
