A noodle soup meal (from A Taste of Thai) in my Totoro bowl bento set. The base filled with dried rice noodles is in the bottom left, the upper tier contains steamed veggies (carrots, red bell pepper, bok choy, scallions), tofu, and a hardboiled egg, and the flavor packets are in the bowl, which doubles as a lid for the bento set. To eat, I put in half of each flavor packet into the bowl along with about 8 ounces of hot water, then added half of the noodles. I covered the bowl using the top tier of the bento to let the noodles soften for the required 3 minutes, then added the toppings and started schlurpin'!
