Every day BENTO -Shigureni-


20 minutes.
In general, this is the time to make bento in the morning. I can get some information from cooking book for bento, and also check information online the same.

"How to make bento in 20 minutes."
"Easy and quick to prepare bento in your busy morning."

The title of these books is very attractive to buy it and I actually did, but never done in such a super short time.
At least it takes more than 20 minutes to cool rice down before I put it into the lunch box.
Definitely it is important to prepare for bento the night before the day. It depends on how much take time to prepare.

I am a morning person, so it is not hard to get up early for making bento. I want to go to bed as soon as possible at night. I don't want to take long time to prepare at night. That's why it takes much longer time to make bento for me than others. In conclusion, this depends on individual life style.


One of my friends "togu" rice in the morning and cook it for bento.
("Togu is wash or rinse rice. It is important step before we cook rice. After we do this, need to place quietly for at least 30 minutes before cook rice. Cooking time with rice cooker is generally about 50 minutes.) Too much things in the morning.

Another friend cooks rice, cool it down, put it into the bento box and keep in the fridge at the night before in advance. Basically keeping cooked rice is not tasty.

I have friends who is super slow, and super well prepared. I guess I am in the middle.
OK, I don't care the words "20 mintutes".
