How to Make a Bento!

[OkashiProDubs]

I was wondering if anyone has had quail eggs do they taste different then regular eggs?

[leaneeres]

@OkashiProDubs Taste no different from chicken eggs if you ask me.. Just that the size is smaller and the egg whites are..a little bit softer in my opinion.

[gel8180]

I'm gonna try this someday. Maybe the weekend or something. 1 question. Where's the rice????

[XxAmayaSanxX]

Its easier to cut the one sausage in HALF, and cut from the flat sliced end in

[hrtbrokenandconfused]

i hate when the time comes to eat my bento cuz i'll take a bite out of something outragously cute and say NO! after every bite i take

[rickastleyrickrolled]

That looks Great!

Good job!

[TheVampireServant]

a trick with the octopus sausages would be to put them into boiling water for a short amount of time c:

[xRoflman]

whats the song??

[sweetchunks22]

cuute! i like! but where's the rice:'(

[lollilexxi]

I'm 11 and I make myself a bento everyday. It's not hard :D

[ladykaitan]

I think you need a better knife... :3

[bentogeek]

hey bento lovers, feel free to see the japanese ones on my page! yup yup!!

[skrinkle2000]

I wish more parents would embrace this as a way to show their children that they're special instead of just taking them to a fastfood place as a treat :(

[SuperLoli101]

@skrinkle2000 Well, it's difficult considering the fast-paced lifestyles of today. I typically make bentos for fun rather than for my little brother or me to bring to school everyday because it's so time consuming and Im frankly a perfectionist. >.<

[skrinkle2000]

@SuperLoli101 Ya, I know what you mean...I tend to make them especially for my nieces and nephews when they stay with me for school vacation camps :) But,if anyone wants some hints:I do things like precutting the lunchmeat and fruits and veggies and keep them in china containers, not plastic because they can get dry or mildewy and I sometimes even have a layer of rice underneath to obsorb moisture.Stcikyrice stays for a few days if you keep it moist,it perks by warming with H20/vinegar <3

[SuperLoli101]

@skrinkle2000

Lucky! I rarely have the time to even do the precutting cause I was always studying for AP tests and what not xD Now that college is starting, I probably have less time... but when I do, I usually end up making dessert only bentos the most simply because I love sweets a bit too much xDD It's a wonder why I dont have cavaties haha xD

[chrishalron21]

how much time did u take to make it could u explane me how u did everything???

[mimlato]

if someone made me that i would be pleased. then id eat it. then id feel sad.

[MiyaviFan99]

you are amazing! i bet it was really difficult ;3

[missy12061]

it's almost too cute to eat!! 

[dangelgregz]

omg i was just smiling and laughing while watching this video... the cuteness made me really happy LOL

[HanakoFujita]

Where do you buy the cup dividers at?

[MIRA1982B]

ohh so cute!!

[Bellasand45]

Looks so cute and delicious!!!

[lilskoolgirl098]

Where did you get the cup dividers?The cute ones!

[KumorixGuardian]

I wonder what would it be if that bento box fill of food could be if it can talk...

*Opens* Bento Box: Konichiwa~~!, Please don't it us~ eheheheh xP

[xxSODAPOPxxx]

awww it looks cute x3

[mozzarellablue]

the quail eggs are soo cute! :D

[fashionsuicide21]

what did you use to shape the seaweed eyes for the eggs and sauseage?

[pirikara]

@fashionsuicide21 I used a decorative paper cutter.

[lyka0518]

the octopuses would have had better tentacles if u cut it first, then fried it,...but its cute anyway cuz of the face u put on it:DD

[lidous]

I like the new song.....can you tell me the artist and the tract of the the song?

thanks

[thespd]

So Bento is> i play with my food and cover it with gems before i transform it too toons

[aropa123]

That looks yummy :3 I wanna make a bento now ! XD

[bentogeek]

its me, bentogeek! if you guys like bento, i have bento on my page from mostly japan and also korea and taiwan.. come see them all?! :)

[iktoulover7]

Where can i get the cute dividers?

[Nekologic]

song? :]

[vampireanimewoo]

domo arigato for the bento vid

[EmoAliKat]

I love the simplicity of this one :)

[ShankAndTank]

dont play with your food you 8 year old

[chutchybo]

what a great idea for halloween

[MrMcflurry2]

,_, what kind of eggs are those >.<

[lyka0518]

@MrMcflurry2 quail eggs...they're very good:]

[sabrinamom]

Will you be my mommy?

[GripstateReloaded]

um...theres no specific way to make a box lunch rofl...and it doesnt have to be "cute"...its food for eating ffs.....

[MyGuitarAndSatan]

Interesting

[EnadrielOwo]

Wow, it looks so delicious! You did a great job. =3

[clanerp]

Now that's one sexy egg.

[linwang982016]

oh that's kyaraben or character bento.

[hihi182]

"its harder than it seems" lol 

[HanakoFujita]

How about rice? XD

[captainkayleeinc]

Is that filling? Cause it looks like a small portion... but then again, I'm American...

[Hantarasseru]

@captainkayleeinc that is a fairly small lunch, but then again looks like it would be more for a child. teen and adult sized lunches are about double that, the lunboxes are layered.

[SakiWatari]

@captainkayleeinc I'm an American too and I don't think that I could eat that much O.O

But as delicious as that looks I wouldn't mind trying ;D

[UlenTheWise]

Here's a tip for the sausage (or hot dogs), if you want to give them that octopus effect:

Take your knife and cut slits on the bottom. Don't spread them out, though. Now, take a small skillet, put a small drop of vegetable oil in it and sizzle the hot dog in there until the "tentacles" spread. ^__^ It really works, you should try it sometime!

[DollhouseFan127]

for the eyes you should have used black sesame seeds

[SunnySideUp0611]

Wats the name of this song??And btw i love your bento!

[kristinlbradley]

You're supposed to cook the sausage after cutting it. Either boil it or fry it. Then the tentacles will spread out on their own. (And it'll taste better.)

[animefreak1467]

"I took this from the garden next door." LOL! X)

[EmoAliKat]

I loved it ^__^ It also shows that you dont need a real bento box to make a bento look cute!

[brenanabread]

what was the first song before this song?

[uRDArkFRieND30]

awesome for kids!

[DepressedAnimeAddict]

0:36 - weebl and bob.

[jade151096]

looks fab i could not do that

[chocolaitchip]

you have very beautiful hamds...0_0

[chocolaitchip]

i mean hands....

[SalchichaPolaca]

I wish I had a girlfriend who would make such a cute meal for me =) nice video

[le3verita]

funny  lol !!!!!!

[apusama]

god, i'd love a bento. it'd be so much more interesting than a plain ham sandwich. xD

[rubenvanhouten]

@britt410088 These are quails eggs.

The little bird itself is also very nice when fried for instance.

[britt110488]

what kind of eggs did you use?

[Rae56789]

@britt110488 quail eggs

[bentogeek]

i think i might have pointed this out here before... but if you all like bento, i have many bento diaries on my channel.. feel free to enjoy.... !

[aznheart64]

Actually a nice bento for your first attempt. Lol. :)

[G088Y]

*_* very tasty looking, even if it's simple it's a pleasure to see ^^ bentos are funny!

[lisalzsun]

you can't even close the lid with that huge octopus. xD

[emo284]

its not really about eating animated food, its more about having fun :D

nice looking bento btw ^^

[xinuyashaXROCKSx]

The food...looks so...happy.

I'm almost afraid to try making it, because someone will eat it. XDD

[strjelok]

i am a really depressed person but japan makes me happy lol

[ILoveSweeneyTodd08]

u took the strawberry!!!:O

[That1Girl93]

stealing strawberries ftw >.>

[xSKiTTL3Sx4xSKiTTYx]

nice bento! by the way, whats the title and artist to this song?

[lunaball1]

easier for octoweiner if you cut them up and then panfry them. Makes it stay down :3

[LullabyeLaura]

@lunaball1 Boiling them works too (if it's a hotdog) puls its quicker and easier ^_^

[xroflknifex]

@lunaball1 octoweiner? omg, making new words ftw! :3

[lunaball1]

@xroflknifex Well I figured out that was the best way to describe them. XD

[xroflknifex]

i love it XD

[TheXtremeGamerXLS]

its hard to do the octopus so i sticked with a quardupus

[kikiyo770]

aww...cute bento...and the food looks YUMMIES~

[AleTenoh]

i love that egg!!!! does he have a brother?

[MyassWins]

Don't use a serrated knife for everything :C

[thebelovedchild1]

aww that was really cute how its youre first time so i gues it must be hard but cute

[jenlove90]

That was soooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!! loved it!!!

[sitruc3000]

i dont get it bento doesnt have to be animated?? ... it looked good tho

[CollidingSparks]

it doesn't have to, it can be animated for fun

[mybunniee]

it's cute!

[siubeebee1001]

Are you on diet? seems to me that too little things to eat, hehe~~

[quitejaded]

Bento Box makes you eat only small amount of food, but usually, there is also rice or some kind of pasta that fills you up. And eating the cute foods make you feel better.

[DeeHong]

Maybe i should try this next time ...

[micialicia]

nooooouuuu you changed the song!!!!!! the first one was better!!!

[pirikara]

yeah I felt I should since that first song was copyrighted material.

[micialicia]

what song it was? i want it!!

[fanna1119]

@pirikara wa that fish eyes at the side lol ??

[dilushix]

@micialicia really

[Aberusugi]

A non-serrated knife will help you a lot.

[taka0h]

hahaha

i have wanted to say that about the sausage too. lol

[PowerClubKitt]

lol. someone already said that i see xD..

[PowerClubKitt]

for wen u cooked the sausage or hotdog or watever it was, u dont have to pukk the legs out, cus wen u cook them and they move out, that usually shows they r done lol.. im pretty sure lol... but u made a cute thing for ur first attept! lol. yyum

[xdeathisrighttherex]

what is the song in this vid???

[xdeathisrighttherex]

That sausage looks like a dong wrapped in a condom.

[moeko3321]

主食がない。

[pirikara]

あったけどうっかりしてビデオで撮らなかった。

[xuxucommamao]

thanks! my girlfriend is otaku, so I wanted to do something special for her, like this! thank you so much!

[rionette]

If you want better octopus, cut the tentacles and then fry them.

Cookingwithdog has an excellent video on making bento.

[TheJudgetv]

@rionette u dont fry them you boil them

[dendelionnum1]

i think the best is the bird egg

[imaginationkid14]

how did you make the eyes? theyre so small...also Great video! looks delecious :D

[camelliaruth]

usually from nori, the sea weed sheets, and can use different hole punches for faces, there are tons of nori punches to find.

[holyheartkimi]

for the octopus you were supposed to cut them from the top and then fry them on a pan until the tentacles spreed out

[pnklmonade127]

good tip!

[izzyloveprincess]

so KAWAI!!!!!!

KANPAI!!!!

xoxo

[123DTREY123]

Cute ^^

[Railuien]

I asume Natto was used?

[nashiichan]

what did you use for the eyes?

[pirikara]

I used roasted seaweed ^^

[wa9wa9wa9]

awesome!!!!!!!

[sw33tbay]

great idea for snack !!

[FuryPunkRock]

Where is rice?:) I would not be fully satisfied if i ate that, i'd still be hungry!! xD

[JillianBautista]

I love the quail eggs! XD

[chibikaos]

what are you using to make the eyes on the egg and the sausages?

[122092aka]

no rice?? =[ i prefer some riceballs and fruit... but this looks cute.

[Gamergirl402]

i would eat that!

[IDontCareSoSTFU]

Thats nice O_O

Look cool haha.

[IchigoMommomiya]

such funny and funky music

=D

[IchigoMommomiya]

such a cute quail egg! =D

[ElfenShinobi]

Aww! You make it look so fun XD

[mozartjpn137]

Good job! It reminds me of my school days.

[RedKingSnake]

thats just fantastic, great video

[chocoloco987]

YUMMEH YUMMEH IN MAH TUMMEH!!!!!!

[Candy0828]

omg that looks so cute!! it just makes everything taste better~ btw i saw in another video that you cut the sausages before you cook then then when you cook them they curl on their own ~ [ correct me if im wrong ^^ ]

[animegirlangelz]

that's right!

i like to boil the sausage first, then cut them in half and cut the end, then i quickly fry then in a pan with a thin layer of oil, that way the sausage has a nice crips outer layer and the "octopus legs" curl outwards beautifully. :o)

[LovelyRockstarChic]

Thanks!! this helped!!!

[iburntmypoptart]

what are the black things you used for the faces? seaweed?

[pirikara]

yup it's dried seaweed.

[jaeholuv]

ok. this is the cutest bentobox i have ever seen in my life!!!! great job! every thing looks cute!!!

[chidoriookami]

...i wanted rice too...T-T

[waddleduckie1]

Very creative and aww, so cute! You must be an artist!

[ranger0504]

the egg she make it sooooooo cute

[gripgrlz]

she didnt fry/boil the sausages...

[pussylumpessru]

how do u know they were'nt already boiled before this was filmed..

[gripgrlz]

because the "arms" of the octopus arent erect. they are floppy~hence, not cooked^^

[pussylumpessru]

oo thnks :3

[ArChDaRk]

sugoi!! *o*

[pussylumpessru]

MWOW~!

[misskimbalya]

its sukoi!

[ilikeponie]

wtf

[chefcommons]

Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons . com w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

[I1Dont2Care3]

very cute. but to help out a little (you most likely already head this) cut the sausages first then fry them or boil them (you can even microwave them) and the tentacles will curl out and up. looks really cute, and not too hard to do. :) love the eggs lol!

[Schatten2606]

Ok these sausages are nice, no doubt.

However, this is not really what a bento is supposed to be.

A bento should include dishes prepared in 5 ways and in 5 colors.

While this is more or less an philosophic aspect and not really necessary to follow, it is important to 1: put rice into the bento to make it cheaper and also more filling, and 2. to prepare the dishes so that they last long without losing their freshness.

E.g. the strawberry and the egg won´t last long.

[BlackRoseFt4]

Actually, eggs are a typical staple in bentos

[KaiSeme]

so cute!!!

[FIyingDumpling]

these type of bentos look really really good and cute, but the taste is pretty plan :\

sorry guys, hot dogs taste like hot dogs no matter how much you cut them

[eme271]

well ok i did a story on how to make and OBENTO or BENTO and it was really kool i learned about it on my READING TAKS and this is neat I LOVEE IT:)

[ravencherokeesymone]

So you do all this...and then eat it? Never saw such a thing!

[blueishgreykitty]

It's Japanese. They believe everything in live should be beautiful, even your lunch :)

I like the idea of opening my lunch box every day and finding something cute or cool. If I'm having a bad day, it makes me happier, if I'm having a good day, it makes it a bajillion times better

[devilstar13]

Wow, great job for a first attempt! :D

[HamsterClawz]

i love it!!

[kenyasquest]

I think its fun to eat food like this because you get to play with it first !

=) that was a great vid thanks!

[FutureDoesntNeedU]

Are those octopus's raw sausage?

I'm starting to make Bento and this was helpful...

thnx :)

[Sithean]

cute video!

(bad music, but nice instructions.)

[Kiyoto]

was the black stuff you used for the eyes dried seaweed? cute bento <3

[kenDK1982]

Uhmm...You are supposed to Cut the Sausages before cooking them, that makes them open up and curl on there own, my mother made this when I was younger, I am half japanese...

Great video..!
