How to Meal Prep Bento: $3 Bento Challenge 常備菜で3種類のお弁当作り

[@pochuyma9530]

Bento is a work of love. As many Asians typically don't say "I love you!", but show it by cooking, Japanese show their love to their children by making Bento boxes.

[@luesue201]

Exactly !! Japanese ppl prefer what act what to do than words ..act is most important in here and I love that

[@happycook6737]

After working a private Japanese kindergarten, I can say bento making is also a huge competition among mothers! All about appearances...

[@Vehilien90]

I'd love to see more of these Bento meal-prepping videos! It's such a struggle for me to plan bento's ahead for multiple days.

[@Geeky.rainbow.vampire]

Meanwhile, in America: "Ay kid. Heres a lunchables"

[@justonecookbook]

Hopefully eating healthy and well will become more priority one day. 😊

[@Geeky.rainbow.vampire]

@@justonecookbook yeah 😁

[@Chillipep]

If someone offers you a lunchable, run!

[@Naturally-Bright]

@@Chillipep yeah, one time I opened one and it smells like chemicals

[@Chillipep]

@@Naturally-Bright Lunchables are ungodly and don't even taste like food. Poor kids, stupid parents.

[@cbryce9243]

I would love it if you made a show doing all you did in real time. Although I enjoyed it a lot, this was too fast for someone who has never cooked like this. The food in the nori wrap looked so yummy!

[@feraldeercolony]

Oops. I just impulse-bought a bento box. Guess I’m committed now!

[@FireflyOmegaify]

Me too lol

[@almarosales8770]

Lmao same. I bought one for school, didn’t realize I have to learn how to cook now

[@kylaw2593]

Same dude

[@suziebee4240]

I kept impulse buying things and now i have like 4 bento boxes. And funny thing is i end up just using small containers to put each food separately cuz the type of food i make will move around and mix on my way to work.

[@cineraria5532]

Oops It slipped into my hand hahah

[@Loke2112]

Wow my girls would so love me to do this for school.

[@ArenKae]

Do it! The memories will be worth it. :)

[@skwerwl]

Wow, I've never seen Onigirazu before - I love the concept of marrying onigiri & a sandwich. Looks delicious

[@Pistonrager]

If I recall correctly it's a fairly new thing. A manga artist's wife made them for him, so he added them to his manga. The manga was about how this big tough guy salary man really loved to cook and made fancy meals but he attributed the cooking to his wife.

[@BlacqRomantic]

@@Pistonrager what’s the manga name?

[@thaonguyen_hy3pi]

This is exactly what I was looking for. 👍 And thank you for introducing other Japanese cooking channels.

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you Thao!

[@NEMO-NEMO]

You are still the best ever teacher of Japanese foods. And always smiling and teaching us indirectly how to enjoy life, food, family and friends. Thank you.

[@jneidorff1619]

Ah, those look delicious! I love the trick of shaving the carrot before julienning it; thank you for sharing that with us!!!

[@justonecookbook]

Yeah, you get the thinnest if you can julienne very well. :)

[@ItsYaBoiV]

I could probably eat onigirazu every day, you can fill them with so many things. 😻

Wait i did not now DIO-sama likes bento's

[@Loke2112]

Only because I know your likely paying attention I wanted to add that I am so grateful for your showing me just how easy it is to meal prep for such a healthy delicious Japanese lifestyle. I do it every Sunday for my girls and I have enlightened them to the amazing flavors and qualities of Japanese cuisine. Being able to send them off with meals like this would give me great satisfaction. Thank You!

[@justonecookbook]

Your words are too kind, and thank you very much! I believe the same way. I really believe our bento can enlighten and make the kids happy when they open the bento box and see all the colorful and delicious food at school in the middle of the day. Good luck with making bento for your girls. They are so lucky to have you as dad! xoxo

[@wooot24]

Wow this is so helpful! I’m really starting to love Japanese food because cooking it is not that hard, it’s delicious and makes me feel good. Not to mention I’m saving a ton of money by not buying my lunch every day. I really can’t thank you enough for this video!

[@ErisstheGoddessofmanhwas]

I love how simple you made it , i don't like cooking very much so for me sumple options that doesn't take to much time in the kitchen is the best

[@karimareyes3992]

Watching bento vids no matter how complex is always so interesting

[@eling8585]

This is one of the best meal prep videos I´ve seen. Cheap, healthy and delisious food. And I know exactly how I would substitute the meat ingrediens. Thank you for making my high school life easier!

[@meloncornets3034]

These look great! My son goes to care twice a week and I want him to have a wider palette. I feel like making him more traditional bento will encourage him to try more things.

[@dasffs]

I found your Omurice video first, and this is my second, but I can already tell what a great resource this channel is going to be for me. I've gotten into cooking more since the covid quarantine. Thanks for helping me eat healthfully!

[@windelritter]

Oh my god you actually showed how to make the stuff you put in holy moly YES

[@chouaoshita1206]

i'm actually looking for bento recipes, I'm going into highschool and i wanna make myself japanese lunches! Thank you for this video! 🌿🍃💚

[@TheKerokitty]

What an easy alternative to making onigiri or maki for bentos. We put panko breaded tilapia, spicy cucumbers and kewpie mayo in ours and it was ALMOST as good as a katsu sando... Now my kids want to try all the flavors.

[@justonecookbook]

That sounds delicious!!!

Hi Keith! How wonderful to have a fond memory of your mom's home cooked bento! Thanks for watching this video!

[@Meteora597]

Dunno why, but this video just brought a smile to my face several times :) Maybe it's because I was imagining my wifes reaction when I make her a perfect bento + the music and the vibe of this woman speaking. But anyway thanks for nice 8 minutes of my life!

[@CRRoper1]

Thank you for introducing Japanese cooking. I've been cooking this way some, but you just taught me many more ways. Finally found something good- thank you!

[@ChrisJohnsonCJs-Kitchen]

Also, how many days in advance would you make each of these items? For the Sandos, I'm guessing you make them the same morning? Oh, and one more question? How do you keep cut out veggie flowers from drying out in your Bento?
