Innie or Outie

This is a combination bento meal from a local vendor that offers a choice of preselected combinations or an individual’s own choice of various dishes. The entrée bento was one of the preselected items that are very representative of typical local cuisine. The preselection consisted of green beans and julienned carrots sautéed in sesame oil, a stir-fried cabbage, carrot, and tofu dish, thin slices of pan-fried pork, a sunny-side up fried egg, rice, and a pickled plum (umeboshi). Accompanying the entrée was a cup of miso-tofu soup and as a side-order a sautéed dish of broccoli, bacon, tofu,and spinach.
