My raw food lifestyle and bento-making craziness is usually reserved for those online but it was very pleasing when a few offline friends got me this new bento as a birthday present. I like that it’s got a blue theme going on.
ローフードのテーマはインタネットでいつもはなすけど、東京の友達は私にお弁当をくれった。青いろが好き。。。いいな。。。
I had some leftover kelp noodles, so I marinated some shiitake mushrooms, red cabbage and onion for an hour before I packed everything into my bento box. I sliced up some cucumber strips to give it more bulk and re-used an old capers glass jar to hold a sesame miso ginger sauce.

This is one of my quickest meal ideas: veggie sticks with a delicious [...]
When I need an Asian fix, a simple raw soup like this can quell my cravings. You can’t taste the almond aroma so this is truly a savoury meal. As you can see, I love my kelp noodles.

Almond milk (blend ½ cup almonds with 1½ cups water; strain) 1½ cups
1 tbs white miso
1 slice ginger
