Catfish curry bentos x 3

Today I used up all of last night’s homemade curry in three bentos: for my son, myself and my husband. So of course my husband forgot to bring his lunch to work with him today, and I wound up going out to eat with a group after Japanese playgroup, but at least my son ate his at the restaurant! Here’s the one that got eaten today:

Rice balls made of rice mixed with Thai yellow curry (with chopped-up catfish, red bell peppers, zucchini, carrots and onions)

Leftover makeover: Indian curry

Tricolor lunch

I gave stewed collard greens a new look by scrambling them with an egg. This lunch reminds me of a Japanese tricolor soboro bento, but with different flavors. Packed in my Lock & Lock bento set.
