How To Make A Bento Step 1: Rules

May basic rule kasi ang paggagawa ng bento. Eto yun.

The 4-3-2-1 rule: 4 parts rice, 3 parts protein, 2 parts vegetable, and 1 part "treat" (Usually either pickled vegetables or something sweet.)

Dapat yung sushi ay medyo marami ang wasabi para mas flavorful.

Dapat ihihiwalay yung foods na malambot or malagkit gamit ang divider. Dapat i-separate yung wet foods from dry foods gamit ang nested or altogether separate container such as a cupcake forms.

Sauces and dressings go in their own bottles (dapat may lid or cap).

Oily foods (tulad ng gyoza) should be packaged on top of an absorbent material.

Bentos should not require refrigeration or heating.

Above all else dapat super ganda ng design at nakakatakam kainin yung bento! (Note: Compulsory po ang rule na ‘to!)
