Mushroom Meatless Monday Bento

So far, so good with our Meatless Monday bento boxes.  Saba Man doesn’t mind the exclusion of meat in his lunch! Yay!  

This week’s featured vegetarian bento box is a combination of mushrooms and tofu.  The bottom tier?sprouted rice, takuan, teriyaki portobella “cutlets”, shiso leaf and tomato.

The top tier is much more interesting with sesame long beans, enoki mushrooms and tofu jun, a Korean pan-fried tofu.  I’ll post the recipe soon.  In between the jun, I tucked in a bit of kim.  Kim (or gim) is the Korean version of toasted seaweed.  Similar to Japanese nori, but crispier with sesame flavor.

So here’s to Monday!  Celebrating the start of the week…the meatless way!
