Love is in the air~~ February month always has this warm fuzzy feeling. First it is the Chinese New Year and coming up will be Valentine's Day.
Today's Valentine Bento is a sandwich bread based bento since I made this for breakfast. The sandwich filling was egg mayonnaise - yum yum :) The sides were pumpkin salad and heart shape shiratamako dumpling served with anko and kinako.
*shiratamako is glutinous rice flour
*anko is sweetened red bean paste
*kinako is roasted soy bean powder
The character for today's bento is once again My Melody. My Melody was made from pink sakura sponge cake and white bread. I baked some sakura cake yesterday and had some leftover dough, so I poured the batter onto a tray and baked it. You can also use other pink other bread, pancake etc.
Do you want to make this Valentine Bento too? Below are the recipe steps to create the My Melody character, I hope you will like it.
