Bibimbap Bento

The idea of preparing bento for the kids is mainly to encourage them to eat healthy meal. I find it to be a challenge sometimes because I tend to want to put more fresh fruits & vegetables than processed food but often Mic came home with the lunch box still full of food. When I asked her why she didn't finished her food, she would say she prefer fried food more than vegetables or fruits. Well, I'm just going to keep trying to include as much vegetables as I could & also put fried food occasionally.

While thinking about what bento to make, Bibimbap came to mind. I love Bibimbap because it's simple, fresh, healthy meal & it's easy to prepare. So I decided to make one for Mic the next day. To make her excited, I told her that she could have fun mixing the food before she eats it & I could see her bright round eyes sparkled just hearing me say it.








Inside the Bibimbap bento: salmon fried rice topped with finely sliced vegetables (carrots, corn, bakcoy),sliced egg & princess tiara shaped smoked beef. To prepare the salmon fried rice, I fried finely chopped garlic, rice & salmon with butter & seasoned it with fish sauce & salt. For the toppings, just stir fry individually for while until ready.
