Find out how to build a delicious bowl of authentic Japanese food from scratch and construct your very own bento (Japanese lunch box). Recipes include soups and noodle bowls, Japanese donburi and curries: warming, filling dishes that can function as either fun, crowd-pleasing dinner party dishes or soothing sofa-based suppers. Almost everything in this book can be prepped ahead and eaten later, either cold or re-heated, with no loss in quality, allowing you to have Japanese food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a matter of minutes.
