Japanese Cooking 101 Recipes - Easy Bento Box Ideas: Tempura Rice Bowl Bento

Today’s easy bento box features Trader Joe’s Vegetable Bird's Nests — fully cooked and frozen “nests” of julienned vegetables coated in tempura batter and deep-fried. They resemble Japanese kakiage, a type of tempura made with a variety of vegetables. These nests can be reheated to light, crispy perfection in the oven or air fryer — perfect for a busy morning. Cook the tempura nests in the dipping sauce with egg and chopped green onion and served over rice. Pack in a glass food container, and you can microwave it before eating. It's a perfect bento to bring to work :) Read more on Japanese Cooking 101: https://www.japanesecooking101.com/easy-bento-box-ideas-tempura-rice-bowl-bento/
