Chinese New Year Horse Bento 馬さんのキャラベン

Wanted to take a break but ended up still making a bento today. heh. Here is a special Chinese New Year bento – Horse 2014 Bento! Wishing everyone a wonderful Horse Year and thank you for staying here with me.
新年快樂~身體健康~恭喜發財~馬年行大運!

For today’s bento, I wanted something different and not too cutesy. 

So I decided to do a seaweed cutting of a calligraphy stroke that depicts the horse and also the year 2014, can you see it? hehe. 

I hope you like this bento! 

The horse is made entirely of seaweed cuttings. The base is just rice. Side dishes for the horse bento were sauteed soy ketchup pork slices, french beans, egg, sweet potato, strawberry and some lettuce. 

As we move forward in this new year, I want to also say a big thank you to my family and husband for being my side always. And also to everyone here for your constant support. I would also like to thank Bento&co for their support and to all the other partners who have supported me this year. 

I will continue to do my best!

明日旧正月になります。それで、馬さんのキャラベンを作りました。

馬さんは海苔を切ったことです。楽しかったんです。おかず:ソテーチャップ豚肉、卵、サヤマメ、サツマイモ、いちご、レタス。

皆様、今年は本当にありがとうございます。来年もよろしくお願いします。

      Hi Jennifer Thanks so much! I usually place the illustration I want (on paper) then lay the paper over my seaweed sheet, ‘trace’ and cut the outline. I used an acto cutting knife. :)
