Description

Took more time with this one ^^. I plan to buy another bento box that can hold a little bit more food and is for onigiri (rice-balls) so that it'll have a higher top to make room for foods that are taller, as this one I got tends to flatten things ^^;
Top section has mackerel fish with my marinated eggs, some grape tomatoes again and that little flower things is a silicon cup filled with fermented hot soybean paste.
Bottom section has some of those tomatoes to help keep the start shape. I flavored it with some rice flavoring in salmon/yellow color. The surrounding rice is flavored with a beef and egg rice seasoning and I shredded some seaweed over it to give contrast.

To make marinated eggs;
soft or hard boiled eggs (I used the ones precooked/peeled in the stores),
Soy Sauce,
Sake,
Mirin (or it may be called Aji-Mirin, it's a sweet cooking rice vinegar),
Ziploc bag.
I sort of eyeball the measurements, but if you need something to go by I suggest, 3 part soy sauce, 1-2 part sake, 1 part mirin (or however you want to measure to taste). First heat the soy sauce in the microwave and then add the other ingredients. You'll want enough to be able to cover most of the eggs in the ziplock bag. Add eggs and bag together. You can marinated for one to a few hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge. Just be sure to rotate or shake the bag up every 30min-1hr so that all sides are coated and marinating. You can also add other seasoning to the marinating sauce, like ginger and chives etc. My recipe will crate a salty and very slightly sweet egg. The longer you marinate the stronger the flavor.
