Steps to make to make Bento Fillers

1. [Okra rolled in ham:] Rinse the okra, sprinkle with salt, wrap in plastic wrap, then microwave for 15-20 seconds. Cut off the stem, diagonally slice in half, roll in ham, then secure with a toothpick. Serve with mayonnaise for dipping.
2. [Edamame and cheese:] Combine cubed processed cheese, boiled and shelled edamame, mayonnaise, and black pepper and toss together.
3. [Okra tossed with bonito flakes:] Rinse the okra, sprinkle with salt, wrap in plastic wrap, then microwave for 15-20 seconds. Cut off the stem, diagonally slice in thirds, then toss with bonito flakes and shiro-dashi (or a small amount of soy sauce).
4. [Cucumbers tossed with yukari and chirimen-jako:] Thinly slice the cucumbers and rub in salt, mince the yukari (salted and dried red shiso leaves) that are pickled with umeboshi, and toss with chirimen-jako, toasted sesame seeds (black or white) and a few drops of soy sauce.
5. [Aonori seaweed egg crepe:] Sprinkle aonori on an omelette. Rather than cooking the omelette with the aonori mixed into the batter, this maintains the color and flavor of the aonori.
6. [Chicken tenders and wakame seaweed tossed in mustard:] Season the chicken tenders with salt and sake, wrap in plastic wrap and microwave. Once cool to the touch, shred, and toss with wakame, Japanese mustard, and shiro dashi.
7. [Chicken and watercress salad:] Thinly slice the chicken thigh and cut it into small pieces, then season with a pinch of salt. Combine in a frying pan with oyster sauce and mayonnaise until shiny. Once it cools, toss with finely chopped watercress.
8. [Yakiniku-style chikuwa:] Simmer diagonally sliced chikuwa in a frying pan with yakiniku sauce (store-bought). Sprinkle on sesame seeds, then it's ready. It will become too salty if you simmer it too long, so be careful.
9. [Maitake and daikon with sesame dressing:] Place shredded maitake mushrooms seasoned with a pinch of salt and sake in a heat-resistant dish, cover in plastic wrap, then microwave until tender. Drain excess liquid, then toss with shredded shiso leaf and sesame seed dressing (store-bought).
10. [Mock sushi:] Wrap nori seaweed around pieces of omelette.
11. [Sweet and savory grilled shrimp:] Shell the shrimp, brown both sides in a frying pan, sprinkle with soy sauce and mirin, then coat evenly.
12. [Shiitake stir-fry with gochujang:] Stir-fry fresh shiitake mushrooms in sesame oil, then stew in gochujang, shiro-dashi, and mirin.
13. [Chirimen-jako and carrots:] Quickly stir-fry julienned carrots in vegetable oil, add chirimen-jako, then simmer in shiro-dashi and a dash of usukuchi soy sauce. Remove from heat, then toss with sesame seeds.
14. [Snap peas sautéed in garlic:] Parboil snap peas, then stir-fry in a frying pan with a dash of salt, a tiny pinch of curry powder, and garlic powder. Try it with snow peas or green beans, too.
15. [Kimpira-style fuki:] Stir-fry boiled fuki with sesame oil, season with shiro-dashi, a dash of soy sauce, and a pinch of sugar and continue to stir-fry. Sprinkle on sesame seeds to finish.
16. [Mashed potato dumplings:] Make a mashed potato with ham and edamame (seasoned with mayonnaise, salt, and a pinch of sugar) wrap in plastic wrap and shape into dumplings. The dumpling in the background is seasoned with a dash of curry powder.
17. [Komatsuna tossed with zha cai:] Finely chop the komatsuna, stir fry in vegetable oil, then add a splash of shiro-dashi, and toss with chopped flavored zha cai (store-bought). If it needs more seasoning, add a few drops of soy sauce.
18. [Sweet and spicy fried egg with shiso leaf:] Grease a frying pan with vegetable oil, break an egg into the pan, then top with a shiso leaf. Once it slightly sets, fold it in half with a spatula, and cook both sides.

21. [Kabocha squash and wiener sausage stir-fry:] Microwave kabocha squash until tender. Thinly slice the wiener and stir-fry in a small amount of butter. Add the kabocha, and season with salt and pepper, and a few drops of oyster sauce.
22. [As a bento divider item...:] I use red-leaf lettuce as a divider between bento items. Pleated salad leaves are handy since they don't require any extra effort and look nice. I also use shiso leaves when I have extra. It's good to eat them up after they do their job.
23. [Shimeji mushroom tsukudani:] Stir-fry shimeji mushrooms and thinly sliced ginger in a few drops of vegetable oil. Add a few drops of dashi soup stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce and continue to stir-fry over high heat. Once the liquid evaporates and the sauce thickens, remove from heat, then add a few drops of sesame oil. Sprinkle on toasted sesame seeds. This is nice and fragrant.
24. [Glazed carrots with a twist:] Seasoned with a touch of soy sauce. Boil carrots in water, consommé soup stock granules, a dab of butter, and few drops of usukuchi soy sauce (for producing a nice color) until tender. Adding a touch of soy sauce makes this a nice complement for Japanese bento items.
25. [Bean sprout and wakame seaweed namul:] Toss boiled bean sprouts with wakame, sesame oil, salt, a dash of soy sauce, a tiny pinch of sugar, and sesame seeds. Season well with salt. The flavor improves if prepared the previous night to allow flavors to absorb. I recommend lightly grinding the sesame seeds.

30. [Gingered carrots:] Stir-fry julienned carrots and ginger with a splash of vegetable oil. Once the carrots become tender, add mentsuyu, a dash of curry powder, and continue to stir-fry. Enjoy the ginger flavor.
31. [Atsuage simmered in Japanese style curry] Simmer atsuage and julienned ginger in sweet and savory sauce (dashi stock, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin), then season with a dash of curry powder. Thicken with a katakuriko slurry.
32. [Broccoli seasoned with Japanese mustard:] Toss boiled broccoli with Japanese mustard sauce (a dressing made from shiro-dashi, a few drops of soy sauce, and Japanese mustard).
33. [Naruto wasabi-mayo sandwich] Spread a mixture of wasabi and mayonnaise on a piece of thinly sliced naruto (omit the wasabi for children) and sandwich another slice on top.
34. [Flower-carved fish sausages:] Carve the fish sausages into a flower pattern as you do with boiled eggs. It's simple, but it's appealing--just carve them into flowers.
35. [Mayonnaise and ra-yu salad:] Microwave thinly sliced cabbage and ham and toss with mayonnaise and ra-yu.
36. [Spiral egg rolls:] Place a sheet of nori seaweed on top of a thin omelet, and roll it up. Leave the nori 1 cm longer than the egg. Seal the nori with mayonnaise.

38. [Sweet and savory tuna:] Season tuna chunks with a dash of salt. Lightly coat in katakuriko, then stir-fry in vegetable oil. Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin and sugar to taste.
39. [Shimeji mushrooms and carrots:] In a heat-resistant dish, season shimeji mushrooms and julienned carrots with salt, pepper, and butter, cover with plastic wrap, then microwave. Add a few drops of soy sauce to taste.

43. [Bacon rolls:] Wrap cabbage in plastic wrap and microwave until tender, then wrap in strips of bacon. The bacon strip should be 1 cm longer than the cabbage. Fry.
44. [Simmered snap peas seasoned with Japanese mustard:] Simmer snap peas in dashi soup stock, sugar, soy sauce, and mirin, then toss with a dab of Japanese mustard.
45. [Potato salad wrapped in bacon:] Wrap potatoes from a leftover potato salad in bacon, then brown in a frying pan. This will make them fragrant and delicious.
