Ingredients:

sliced cheese

Then place the parchment paper on top. Cut out the lines with a design knife. Place the lines on a sliced cheese. Repeat this to complete the illustration.

3. Mix a bit of food coloring in mayonnaise to make pink, red, and green. Use cotton swabs to paint.

4. Place rice and side dishes in a bento box. Put the Anya cheese on top of the rice.

Tamagoyaki is Japanese rolled omelette. In this recipe I will share with you how to make it using a microwave. In this way you can make nice and yellow Tamagoyaki without burning it.

If you use regular soy sauce, it can turn out brownish. Please use lighter colored soy sauce OR use transparent soy sauce like this one. https://amzn.to/3xk4wOI Or you can use white Dashi soup base instead of soy sauce and Dashi powder. https://amzn.to/3dLcyIx

Tamagoyaki Sandwich

This recipe is going to be a savory Dashi flavored Tamagoyaki. You can make it sweet, too. It is up to you 😉

Cure Summer Bento Lunch Box (7 Useful Tips to Make Kyaraben) | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

This video will show you how to make Cure Summer Bento Lunch Box from Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure (2021) along with 7 Useful Tips to Make Kyaraben (character Bento lunch box) 💖 You can apply this techniques to make other characters as well.

Take time 😊👍

Cure Summer Bento Lunch Box (7 Useful Tips to Make Kyaraben)

I used WILTON Icing Colors

---------------------------------

7 Tips to make Kyaraben (character Bento lunch box)

#1 Find the image easy to work with: Opened eyes are sometimes difficult to make, so choosing the character with smiling eyes or winked eyes saves time.

#2 Make rough sketch of Bento: detailed ideas are better because you may run out of energy to go easy.

#3 Shop ingredients based on your sketch: if you have detailed ideas with you, you may luckily find better ingredients.

#4 Use vivid colors for the egg crepes. Egg white is easy to break, so you can mix starch and water to prevent it from breaking（1 tsp. starch & 1 tsp. water for 1 egg white).

#5 Start from larger parts, trace them on a parchment paper, and cut out the ingredient with a design knife.

#6 Make sure you don't put eyes on top of ham (face). Face parts must be at the same level or eyes will look like popping out and scary...

#7 Cut Nori seaweed lines as thin as possible. Thick lines look sloppy...

Basic ingredients you need to make Kyaraben:

egg

food coloring

cheese slices

ham slices

Kanikama (fish cake)

Kamaboko (fish cake)

Time you need may depend on the character and your concentration. Please take time to make it. You can make the character a day before and keep it in the fridge.

*You can make rice or noodle dish with a lot of vegetables to save time making side dishes.
