5-minute bento! featuring shirokuma-chan~ (white bear)

a couple night before, i was browsing for marshmallow fondant decoration ideas for cupcakes. somehow, bento photos got in the way and i was immediately distracted!

i browsed through many, many Flikr bento pools, and i was really inspired by everyone's creative bento sets!  oh, also tutorial pages like Blur Mommy's Kooky Culinary. the next thing you know, opportunity strikes.

i was early (finally) to carpool with my friend to campus, so i decided to make the best out of two items that inspired me most the night before:

5-minute chocolate cake & babykins!'s bear bento!

there wasn't much time to make a fancy bento like most people who makes bento do, so i decided to try a 5-minute bento box!

all i needed to do:

1. fry plain omelet (1 egg, beat well) on low heat (avoids browning eggs).
2. lay cut out omelet to cover the bottom of tupperware.
3. line seaweed around tupperware.
4. slice omelet for narrow strips (bear ear) and an oval (bear nose and mouth).
5. cut seaweed for ears, eyes, nose and mouth.
6. scoop cooked rice into the prepared tupperware (of omelet and seaweed).
7. arrange the cut omelet and seaweed to form a bear head.
8. wait to cool, and you are ready to go!
   

i hope you can try it too! its such a simple fix for a simple bento for breakfast (for me)~
