Onigiri Bento Lunch is a typical Japanese meal taken to schools and workplaces. It contains rice balls with various fillings and nori seaweed, and small side dishes. Because bento lunches are usually prepared in the morning when time is limited, they shouldn’t be too elaborate. Unless you’re willing to wake up very early to cook everything, all components except onigiri can be prepared the night before. Most side dishes can be leftovers from the previous night’s dinner. Simply make a little extra food and set it aside with the bento in mind.
