Bento box day 3


Today, I received my new egg molds and steel cutters from Amazon.com! So today's bento box I decided to use it for boiled egg (upper left photo) in the shape of a rabbit and bear. Cute...
The lunch today features Ground turkey, sauteed bok-choy, rice onigiri face, flower shaped apples and lychee jelo (from an Asian store). To make, here are the recipes...
Vegetables:
Put 1 cup baby bok-choy in a bowl of water and heat in microwave 30 seconds. Remove hot water, and pour ice water to blanch. Drain water and cut up leaves in small sizes. In a small pot, heat 1 tsp sesame oil, add shredded imitation crab meat and bok-choy. Season with salt to taste.
Sautee until vegetable is done about 3-5 minute.
Ground meat:
in a Frying pan, add 1/2 cup chopped onions & 1 Tbsp minced garlic. Brown 1lb ground turkey until meat is done. Season with 1 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp ground pepper. Optional: add 1/4 cup frozen green peas, raisins and chopped red pepper for extra flavor.
Onigiri: FACE
When white rice is cooked and lukewarm, Add 1 cup into a plastic wrap, then wrap it and twist the top so it is shaped like a ball. mold it in your hands so it sticks together. Open face down into a food cup. While rice is still warm, add round nori (seaweed) eyes, and 3 strips for hair. I used an imitation crabmeat for mouth.

Jollibee fried peach mango pie

Hmmm.  I went to Jollibee in Jersey city, NJ to get one of the peach mango pies.  Unfortunately they were out, so I got the banana langka instead. Then I had one of those light bulb moments to make my own Peach mango pie.  Crazy huh?  The important thing was the filling.  The filling would be a little bit hard if the yellow ripe mangoes were out of season.  Luckily Del Monte now sells them in the little plastic cups.  Filling: 1 C of yellow sliced and cubed mangoes, ripe and peaches  or Del Monte cubed mangoes and peaches with syrup 2 T peach jam preserves 1T white sugar In a little saucepan, cook the mangoes in sugar for 1 minute in medium heat until mangoes soften.  Add the peach jam and mix. Simmer for another 1 minutes.   Transfer to a bowl and cool in refrigerator. Crust: Buy the PUFF pastry crust from the supermarket.  Lay out and cut in squares.   Add the mango peach filling.  Top with ...
