Curry Croquette Finger Food Bento

I know what you’re thinking.

“Curry croquettes aren’t healthy!”

While I’d never claim they’re going to win me any prizes for “most nutrition-packed foodstuff of the year,” there’s no reason curry croquettes HAVE to be unhealthy. Not if you bake them, anyway.

More after the jump.

Year of the Bento: Bento No. 3: Omuraisu (Japanese Omelette Rice)

01/20/10 - Omuraisu

Omuraisu is kind of like Japan’s equivalent of mac and cheese. Short for “omelette rice”1 , it’s essentially a good way to use leftover ingredients but suit them to Japanese tastes.2

  1. because the Japanese love their portmanteaux almost as much as I do []
  2. For those interested, this idea of taking Western-style dishes but bending them to Japanese flavor profiles is not uncommon. It’s a subgenre of Japanese cuisine called youshoku. If you’re familiar with kareraisu (curry rice), that’s part of the youshoku family, too. A good indicator is whether or not the name is just a Japanese pronunciation of borrowed English words—but that’s not always the case. However, if sighting such a word makes you suspicious, you may want to investigate further to see if you’re right. :) []
