BBQ Bento Box Ingredients
Method
BBQ Bento Box Directions
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in rice vinegar and let it cool.
Make California Rolls
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small margin at the top. Arrange crab stick, avocado, and cucumber in a line at the bottom. Roll tightly using the mat, then slice into 6 pieces.
Prepare Kimchi
If using store-bought kimchi, simply place it in a serving bowl. If homemade, prepare and let sit for at least a day to ferment.
Make Vegetable Tempura
Mix tempura batter with water according to package instructions. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan. Dip mixed vegetables in batter and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Cook Spring Rolls
If using frozen spring rolls, follow package instructions for cooking (usually deep-frying or baking).
Prepare Steamed Rice
Cook rice according to package instructions and keep warm.
Serve
Arrange California rolls, kimchi, vegetable tempura, steamed rice, and spring rolls in a bento box. Serve with soy sauce, salad greens, and a side of soup.
