This simple, but tasty, meal consisted of steak cubes sautéed in olive oil, boiled carrots and potaotes sautéed in olive oil, and blanched handama (Okinawan spinach). The items were plated and then smoothered in a salsa sauce recipe he found on this Japanese foodie site.

This is another of the more local oba-style bentos. It had tonkatsu with ketchup as a sauce, goya chanpuru, deep-fried prawn, spam, sunny-side-up fried egg, rice, umeboshi, and an unusual (almost SOS flavor) chunky mashed potato with hot dog salad.
