Bento Idea: Chicken Vegetable Spring Rolls

One of our cravings is Spring Rolls. This one's made of shredded cabbage, ground chicken, green onions, and grated carrots.  All wrapped up with whole wheat flour wrapper. Saute all fillings and seasoned with salt and pepper or oyster sauce to taste. Serve it either with ketchup or sweet and sour sauce.

Bento Weekly - Round 8

This week I am introducing another veggie to my son.  As you may notice, I have done it every other day and in small increments.  Gradually increasing the serving size, so as not to make him sick of eating it.  If you remember, a few weeks ago, I introduced Edamame to him.  If I wasn't mistaken it lasted for almost 3 weeks until he learned to eat it all by itself.  This time it would be zucchini.  So far he's been responsive whenever we try new food item in his school bentos.  He usually would suggest how he wants it in his lunch and how much.  And I give in to that request, as long he comes back with an empty lunchbox and a filled tummy.
