Fit Mom Cynthia's Chicken Roll Bento
Where I was born - beautiful Indonesia - we eat warm dishes for lunch whether it is noodle soup with fish or meat balls (mie bakso) or rice with vegetables and a little bit of meat or meat substitutes such as tempeh or tofu. In The Netherlands however, I've been preparing sandwiches for lunch for my daughter (and myself), as it is common in this country and it's easy to take in to school or work. But what to prepare when you want to vary in your eating habits and eat less bread? And that's where I will share this Asian Bento Box inspired recipe with you.
