 Today's o-bento:

Forgot to upload this a few yesterday. I finally got my own car last Sunday so I am pretty excited about that. Anyway, now I can go to grocery shopping any time I want to, but since I really don't have anything left in the refrigerator again, so I had to use this frozen buffalo chicken wing or something I don't really like so much.

私の母がしてくれたように、私はあまり冷凍食品を使わないのですが、Costcoに行ったときに夫が食べてみたいと言って買ったナゲットをお弁当に入れました。冷蔵庫がかなり寂しいです。

"Mame Gohan" bento - グリンピースごはん弁当

Today's o-bento:
- Mame gohan (Green Peas Rice)
- Fried katsuretsu (Fried pork)
- Pan-fried bacon & corn

I used to have a lot of mame (green peas) gohan when I was in Japan. My grandparents are farmer, so I often had changes to have very fresh and nice vegetables. Ah, I miss them so bad. Even though the peas I used for this mame gohan are not fresh but frozen, it turned out very well. I added about 1 Table spoon of sake and 1 pinch of salt in 2 cups of rice before starting the rice cooker.

懐かしい豆ご飯を冷凍グリンピースで作ってみました。カンタン♪

"Genmai Gohan" bento - 玄米ごはん弁当

Today's o-bento:
 - Genmai gohan (Brown Rice)
 - Bacon-rolled carrots
 - Fried vegetable and sausage 
 - Spicy Black Beans

 Last time my husband and I went to a Korean grocery store, we happened to buy a 20 pound bag of brown rice instead of regular medium grain rice by accident! Seems like I have to add a little bit more water to them when cooking, otherwise they will be hard like gummy. There is a "Brown Rice" button on the rice cooker, but it takes more than one hour so I don't use it. Cool things about brown rice are healthier (more vitamins), interesting texture, and moreover, I don't have to wash the rice so many times before cooking.
By the way, I tried to make bacon-rolled carrots for the first time. I microwaved julienne carrots for about 20 seconds, rolled them with bacon, and pan-fried. Seasoning is a little bit of soy sauce.

間違って買った玄米は、初めはどうかなーと思ったけど慣れてきて美味しく感じるようになりました。そして何より健康に良いと思うと更に好きになりそうです。
