Bento Box

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 10 seconds, or until sugar dissolves when stirred. Mix with cooked sushi rice and adjust seasonings to taste.
2. Stuff tofu pockets with seasoned sushi rice. Optional: To decorate inari sushi into ducks, ad black sesame seeds for the eyes and corn for the beaks.
3. Cut 4 vertical slits into each mini hotdog, about halfway up. Boil for 2-3 minutes, or until slits begin to peel away from the base and form tentacles.
4. Add teriyaki sauce to a pan with hotdogs. Cook on medium heat for 2-4 minutes, or until teriyaki thickens and evenly coats hot dogs.
5. Assemble bento box with inari sushi, teriyaki hot dogs, and anything you’d like such as seaweed salad, rolled omelet, cucumbers, carrots, and green onion.
