How to Cook Japanese White Rice in a Camping Cookware

DAISO Mess Tin (How to Cook Japanese White Rice in a Camping Cookware)

Difficulty: Very Easy

Time: 1hr

Number of servings: 1-2 people

Necessary Equipment:

Mess Tin

solid fuel

trivet

aluminum plate for the fuel

lighter

parchment paper

1 cup = 160g (5.6oz.) Japanese rice

200ml water

cotton gloves

towel

Direction:

1. Wash rice and place it in Mess Tin lined with parchment paper. Add water and leave for 15~30 minutes to let it absorb water. * I did not rest the rice but the result was pretty good.

2. Place the solid fuel on the aluminum plate. Place it in the center of trivet. Set fire, place the Mess Tin, and cook until the fire goes out.

3. Wear the cotton gloves and hold the lid securely. Then flip it over and leave to steam for 15 minutes. If you have a towel wrap Mess Tin to steam. *Flipping over is to cook rice more uniformly but some people say it is not necessary.

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

This video will show you how to make Cure Grace Bento Lunch Box from Healin' Good Pretty Cure (2020) along with 7 Useful Tips to Make Kyaraben (character Bento lunch box) 💖 You can apply this techniques to make other characters as well.

Cure Grace Bento Lunch Box

Take time 😊👍

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

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.
