How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh broccoli
- Fresh broccoli usually has a bright green color; the darker it is, the better it tastes!
- At the same time, prioritize choosing broccoli with fresh leaves still attached to the stem, feeling heavy and firm when held.
- Avoid buying broccoli that appears pale, has unusual black spots on the surface, or is slightly yellowing.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- It is advisable to buy tomatoes that have a bright red color, a shiny surface, smooth and firm to the touch.
- Prefer to choose fruits with a fresh green stem that is firmly attached to the body of the tomato.
- Absolutely do not buy fruits that are bruised, scratched, or have many unusual black spots on the surface.
How to make Halloween bento
-
Prepare vegetables
For broccoli, cut off the stems and carefully separate each small bud. Prepare a bowl of water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, stir well until the salt dissolves, then add the broccoli and tomatoes for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, remove and rinse with water once more, then put in a colander to drain.
-
Boil the broccoli and boil the eggs
Place a pot on the stove, pour in about 300ml of water, wait for the water to boil, then add the broccoli and blanch for about 3 minutes, carefully remove it.
Tip: Do not boil for too long as it will cause the broccoli to lose its crunch and green colorContinue to boil the eggs for 4 minutes, then carefully remove the eggshell.
-
Fry the sausages
Place a pan on the stove, add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then add the sausages, turning them on all sides to cook evenly.
After frying for about 5 minutes, when the sausages are cooked and have a nice brown color, turn off the stove and take the sausages out onto a plate.
-
Creating the eyes, nose, and mouth
Use scissors to cut small circles with a diameter of about 5mm or triangles to make the eyes. Carefully cut out the mouth. You can also cut out some other decorative shapes like a hat, pumpkin, etc., depending on your preference.
-
Shaping the rice and side dishes
Carefully attach the eyes, mouth, and hat onto the egg, and do the same with the sausage and tomato.
For the rice, we will divide it into 2 parts. For the first part, wrap it with plastic wrap to prevent it from sticking while shaping, forming it into the shape of a ghost, with a slightly larger head that tapers at the mouth. Next, attach the eyes, nose, and mouth on top.
For the remaining rice, add about 1/2 teaspoon of chili sauce, mix well, and then wrap it in plastic wrap to form a round shape, carefully attaching the eyes, nose, mouth, and decorative pieces on top.
To make the bento rice, first place the lettuce leaves in the box, prioritizing the leaves that stick out, then arrange the broccoli on one side of the box. Finally, add the two portions of rice, egg, sausage, and tomato.
And there you have it, the Halloween bento is complete and ready for you to enjoy!
