I still haven't had a chance to go to the supermarket, so I wasn't able to baptize my new bento box with anything special. Ah well. Look for a bento box/accessories post soon. ^_^

Fried rice is another good bento staple that can be kept in your freezer. Just make a big batch, portion into freezer bags, let cool to room temp, and freeze. I take out a packet the night before and let it defrost in the fridge. Then I zap it in the microwave in the morning before adding to my bento.
