leggo my obento! the bento blog

my bento

fish ball stir fried with green onion; green beans wrapped in bacon; kabocha; hard boiled eggs with mayo (deviled egg); fried rice with dried shrimp and takanazuke  (i love that stuff!!)

japanese mayo is perfect for making deviled eggs.  traditionally americans make deviled eggs by mixing the egg yolk with a little mayo, a little mustard, and a little white vinegar.  since japanese mayo is made with rice vinegar and is sweeter than american mayo, the extra flavor additives are unnecessary.  just pop out the egg yolks and mix with a little mayo.  deviled eggs is a good alternative solution to bento lovers that don’t like traditional hard boiled eggs…!  although i love both… it’s a nice treat every now and again.
