This morning, I've prepared a large batch of mochiko chicken. There's 6 pounds of chicken thighs, and I've split it into 5 sandwich sized bags. 2 are in the refrigerator, and 3 in the freezer. Bento usually don't have too many pieces of this stuff, maybe 4 bite size pieces and lots of other goodies.
My DH said his friend married a Japanese lady and she makes him bento everyday to take to work. He's lost a lot of weight. Hmmmm.... I hope it'll help...
This recipe is not yet tested, and I modified a small one to make a large batch, so take your chances. I'll check back and repost with pictures after I've had a chance to cook it.
Large Batch Mochiko Chicken:
6 lb. bag of boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces
1 cup mochiko
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup cornstarch
8 eggs
3/4 c. shoyu
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
Soak chicken at least overnight. Prepare by deep frying, or if you're like me, use about 1/2" of oil in the pan, and fry. Drain on paper towel. Everyone loves mochiko chicken... how can you not? It's fried... :D
It's looks like I'll need to make myself bento. All these recipes are making me want one too....
It's a lot of work on the weekend, but hopefully, we can all enjoy nice lunches during the coming week. The kids are really tired of school lunches, and the price just keeps rising. Dad keeps going out for hamburgers and fries, not a healthy habit. And if lunches are this good, I might not forget to stop and eat when I'm busy sewing....
