BENTO BUT NOT BROKEN
An adventure into the world of bento.

My first tamagoyaki

I followed Maki's instructions on justhungry.com, and I think I had fair results. I sent the photos off to my soon to be niece in Tokyo (she is marrying my nephew) and I am sure the two of them will have a laugh at my first try. It's not perfect, but I am content. I tried a new cooking technique and at least did not end up with scrambled eggs!

First 2 tbsp of egg mixture in the pan...


Rolled over and next layer of eggs....


the final result, looks like a burrito if you ask me! If I had a bamboo mat I could shape it better, but saran wrap worked for me.



The final result in my bento....

These look wonderful - do you need a bamboo mat? I know I can get one here!

If you're interested in onigiri straight from the japanese convenience store. Google Minnano Japanese Grocery in San Antonio. they have a wide variety of onigiri that you'd find in a japanese convenience store.

I recently found out about it and I thought I'd share the wealth.
