Today we have bentos with 3 of my husbands most loved foods.
Sausages, teriyaki sauce & sesame seeds.
Suffice to say he loved it!
For anyone who isn’t keen on sesame seeds, try dry frying them yourself until browned, the flavour just bursts out of them! Beautiful.
This would stand up well to being eaten cold in a few hours time, the rice goes so well with the teriyaki sauce and sesame.
If you could have just four of your favourite foods in a bento what would they be?

Such a great idea — sausage with Teriyaki sauce! yum!
I guess mine would have dumplings, onigiri with ume, Teriyaki beef and some kind of salad or green pickle. 🙂

This looks delish – do you have a recipe to make the sauce or just a favorite store brand? I’ve never heard of dry frying sesame seeds. I like them so much I just pour some in my hand and eat ’em straight, but now I have something new to try 🙂

I do use a recipe for the Teriyaki sauce, it’s so easy and cheap to make I’d never buy a store brought one!
For some reason the pre made sauces always have unneeded ingredients like garlic in them too so I’ve never tried one.
Ooo, do try them fried, you wouldn’t believe they’re the same thing by the taste!
(Though maybe that’s not such a good thing since you like them so much? Hehe.)
