Blue rice with topped with stars and sesame seeds, baked sweet potato slices (with clove decoration), and steamed pork dumplings- on a bed of raw sunflower seeds, and with little butterflies for decoration. I definitely didn't steam the dumplings right because they flattened. I will have to figure out how to do this better next time! Thankfully I bought a big bag of them and only steamed a few at a time, so it will give me lots of practice! (If you read this blog and know why they flattened or how I can avoid it next time, please feel free to tell me!!)
Wow, what a gorgeous bento and beautiful butterfly accents! I kinda like the dumplings that way. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat are the stars made of? Sweet potatoes are cute! No ideas on the dumplings, but it all looks good :)
ReplyDeleteSusan- Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteSherimiya- The stars are actually decorations I got in the cake decoration aisle at the grocery store! I take them off after photographing- they dissolve into the food and are not very yummy, as I've discovered!
This bento is awesome Melanie!! Love the colors and the arrangement :)

ReplyDeleteI like the butterflies the most :) But sounds delicious ;)
