Hiii, random suggestion: I think a video on freezer meals would be amazing! You could do a deep dive on the science of why some things freeze well and others don’t, and different steps you can take to make sure that meals freeze better. I have loved all your meal prep-style videos so far and think this would be super helpful. Love your videos!

I agree and will one-up your idea... Let's see some individual serving freezer meals that are pre-sealed in a vacuum sealer and can be taken straight from the freezer and dropped in a sous vide water bath... and ready to eat when you get home from work. Sort of how a crock pot is supposed to work, except you just take one out of the freezer, drop it in the water, and then go to work.

To me as an ADHDer with a cooking hobby, this is something I've been doing for a while. The interactivity and novelty of combinations really is the best way to make me eat my "boring" prepared food instead of splurging on something way less healthy and cost-effective. Also, works really well as sort of a charcuterie board thing at home. Got something fresh, a protein, some crunch, something pickled, 1-2 sauces and a way to wrap it up or dip away. Really nice suggestions for themed boxes there!

Loving this! Bento Boxes are very similar to the Dabbawala culture in Mumbai where Dabbawalas (Box-carriers/men) bring food made at home by a spouse or mother to working professionals all over the city. The boxes are usually metal and stacked in three layers and usually follow a bread-protein-veggie system or just bread and veggies for those who are vegetarian. It's amazing how different cultures come up with concepts that seem to similar to each other, independent of each other.

The Bento box is awesome, but if you want to eat a hot meal, or you like wetter styles of food such as chili, curries, mac & cheese, or casserole leftovers, you have to go with an Indian Tiffin Carrier. The concept is similar, separate compartments for the separate parts, but a Tiffin is usually metal, (Stainless Steel) carries three to seven separate components, and keeps your food warm for hours. Packing a tiffin for someone is an act of love.

I tried bento boxes for about a month. They're expensive, hard to clean and a bit small overall.

I also have deli containers which work better for soups.

It's not for everyone. Remember that bento started in a country where the traditional dynamic of men working while women stay at home is still prevalent. Bento is made by a stay at home partner for the person who works outside of the home. Taking time to make an elaborate lunchbox in the morning when you have to get out of the door for work is just not feasible for a lot of us. I just make a sandwich, and pop some berries into a plastic box.

I love bento and have been making them for many years. I love your easy slaw recipe. Got to try that one soon. FYI, many bento boxes are not microwavable. If that's a feature that you want, then make sure it's listed it on the packaging or item description. Don't assume it'll be fine. Also, a lot of them are hand wash only, so if you want one that's dishwasher safe make sure it is listed as such. One feature that wasn't mentioned that is a huge deal to me is a spill-proof or leak-proof container. Like the previous features I mentioned, don't assume that it'll be fine if it tips over. The best containers with this feature will be hand-wash only because the lid will contain a gasket. Just be aware.

I love making bentos. I usually do a hand roll style one but since salmon can be quite expensive I use canned kippers or sardines in spicy tomato sauce. Super tasty, very inexpensive but still filling enough to keep me going until I get home and can have a heavier meal. I keep my meals light when at work and have the heavier ones at home because I get so sleepy.

My dad isn't a big fan of fish and plain rice rice, so I usually pack him something more European like a couple slices of cold cut meat, funky cheese, fresh bread and soft scramble eggs in the sauce container, and in the large reheat container a whole ready meal like chicken fried pork chop cut into slices with mashed potatoes and gravy, or a "make it yourself" taco set with shredded bbq pork and beans or chili con carne with cilantro rice in reheat container with a couple home made tortillas, pico de gallo, a couple lime wedges and some very mild salsa. Beats gas station packed sandwiches or roadside cafeterias or the kind of sandwiches dad was making himself in a hurry before leaving for work.

While the salmon looks delicious, I beg people to remember to be considerate of coworkers and try to avoid reheating fish in the microwave at work or just any communal space. That said, using sous-vide, you can cook your salmon at 110F for 45 minutes to get a fantastic soft and buttery fish that is absolutely delicious chilled. I highly recommend doing a 1:1 ratio salt/sugar dry brine for 10 minutes and then rinsing in cold water prior to seasoning (i recommend simply salt, pepper, and fresh thyme) and the bagging in a ziplock with a glob of olive oil to both add a bit of flavour and also act as a lubricant to prevent the extremely delicate fish from falling apart as you pull it out the bag. ^that recipe also works great for a hot suppertime meal if you do it at 120F for 45min but doing it with skin on, and then very quickly searing it on the skin side in a ripping hot non-stick pan after sous vide, that way you get some delightfully just starting to flake fish that has that amazing crunchy salmon skin on the bottom. I dont think it would reheat well though, nor would it be as good chilled

My favorite bento is to make seasoned rice balls (ongiri), freeze them and put them frozen in the box. By lunchtime the rice has thawed and is ready to eat. The seasoning keeps it fresher (rice wine vinegar and sugar and salt all have preservative properties). I swap fill this out with any protein (air fryer wings are a favorite and can be made ahead) and quite often pieces of lettuce that I use to make wraps. The traditional bento doesn't need to be reheated, but with a modern office most of the time you have the microwave which can open up a whole bunch of options.

Don't be the person who reheats fish in the work microwave. Lol.

Great video! I love this kind of interactive lunch with all the different textures and colours - the Mexican inspired one really speaks to me! Yum! 😋 they are all great ideas though. I will have to return to the office a few days a week in future so will definitely keep these in mind.

Thanks for these! I've loved using Bento boxes for lunch but I think the larger Mombento boxes that I have are much too roomy for me, and this reminds me that I would love to get more smaller Bento boxes for myself. My hubby can use my pink one too 😸 Great ideas for what to fill them with!

One thing I hate about these boxes is that the clean up is a bit more tedious

Yep, nothing about this video has anything to do with efficiency. That's fine, for people that don't have to eat in 30 minutes.

Your intros are worth not skipping them. Although I was tempted to pause the video, in order to look up what the heck a Bento Box is. Only for you to savagely deliver it right after. The amount of time and energy that go into your videos is really noticable and you have stepped up your game massively in the last two years. Thank you!
