Orange & Green Bento


Orange & Green Bento
Originally uploaded by tattooedmomma

I haven't been motivated much to do my bentos but today I had such a joy cooking and doing food prep. This is hubby's bento for today.

Green box - 2 onigiri (from my new molds), green grapes & little fishy bottles of soy sauce

Big Orange Box - 2 ham & cheese pan-fried wraps & brown sugar glazed sweet potatoes (recipies below)

Small Orange Box - banana pudding I made last night

*Ham Wraps Recipe*
I threw this together with what I had, but you can change it to your taste

10 egg roll wrappers (the rest of the package from last time)
1 package of thin sliced deli ham (I used Kroger brand)
1/2 cup of shredded cheese
2 heaping tablespoons of mayo
spices to your liking (I used a spice mix by Emeril)
1 tablespoon of minced garlic

-Chop the ham up semi fine and mix ingredients
-spoon mix onto wrappers and roll as package indicates
-pan fry on medium for 2-4 minutes on each side depending on how brown you want them - I cook with EVOO but its your choice on the oil
-place on papertowel on a plate to drain- let cool about 5 minutes and ENJOY!
-These heat up really fast in the microwave and are not half bad cold

*Brown Sugar Glazed Sweet Potatoes
I can't credit for the recipie but its pretty simple - here is a link to the recipe that I used, though I added an extra Tbsp. of butter

  1. The ham wraps sound yummy. What sort of spice mix is it Emeril makes?? I'm not familiar with his products or cooking for that matter.
