One of the items I bought recently were rice cakes (I think that is what they are called). They are made totally of glutinous rice and they come in either rectangular pieces like those in the photo below and also in small disc forms. These can be either lightly fried in a little oil or put into sweet soups like the red bean soups to give it more body.
I also got some of these Egg Furikake. Looks very nice and interesting.
With just these two ingredients, I am ready to make my very simple Bento #14.
I just had to lightly fry the rice cakes and once they are done, i used a small piece of nori sheet to hold it up. Lightly smear some Japanese mayonnaise around the 3 sides of the cake and press it into a pile of Egg Furikake. And this is how it looks.
Cut up a plum or two, wash a bunch of grapes and some cherry tomatoes and you are ready.
And this is the end result, almost hassle free.
