Love Is In The Air

It's already February now, usually people associate this month with the Month of Love. I think i will see many Love theme bento this month. Do you agree with me? Today i tried to make one too, it's about a girl and a boy who filled with lots of love. Inside the box: Rice onigiri, pork woku, sausage flower, blanched broccoli and carrot. I put mango yoghurt in the pink cup and love cupcake sprinkles on top of it.

Mama El's Pork Woku Recipe.

Ingredients: 

3/4 kg Pork

4 pcs lemon grass

1.5 handful Basil

Lime juice

10 pcs lime leaves

2 leeks, cut 3cm

1/2 cup water

salt

Ground Paste:

15-20 pcs shallots

8-10 pcs candle nut

1 tsp ground turmeric

5 bird's eye chili ( could be substitute with 1/2 paprika for those who doesn't like spicy )

Direction:

1. Cut cube the pork, sprinkle with lime juice.

2. Mix the pork from step 1 with ground paste, lime leaves and lemon grass.

3. Put the pork in the pan, put water and simmer until tender ( Stir occasionally to prevent the pork sticking to the bottom of the pan)

4. After tender, put in the leeks and basil and cook it for 10 minutes more.

I will enter today's bento to a bento contest held by Japan The Wonderland. Wish me luck, friends..
