I love bento box. It’s like opening a treasure box. One of my or so many Japanese people’s favorite bento is Soboro. It is made of seasoned ground chicken and scrambled eggs. Sounds too simple and boring but trust me, this is an another great meal. We eat usually eat Soboro in a bento, but it’s always amazing. You can make ‘Soboro don’ and eat it for lunch or dinner time at home.
