お赤飯のお弁当 Seikihan Bento

今日はお赤飯のお弁当です。

お赤飯をはじめて作りました。クックパッドのレスピに参考しました。

 
小豆ともち米を煮ました。器に盛りごま塩をふって食べる、美味しい！

 

Today’s bento has a celebratory mood as it contains osekihan (sekihan), which is a traditional Japanese rice dish made of japanese mochi rice and azuki beans (red beans), giving it the beautiful red hue. Its colour is symbolic of happiness.
 
I first saw a Japanese friend eating this and have been wanting to make it too. I referred to a popular recipe at Cookpad to make this, though not a difficult dish, it was a good recipe. The beans were cooked such that they remained whole  and not split open, so this looks good for the bento. lol~
 
Depending on the region in Japan, some recipe calls for sugar to be added while others is served with salt and sesame. Yummy!
 
Hope you like this oseikihan bento. :D

    Simple dishes’re the best! This osekihan looks yummy. You did use sugar or salt? The whole composition’s pretty of course ^^.
