Effortless Japanese Bento: Spicy Teriyaki Chicken and Fresh Sides

A popular Japanese content creator, known as 同棲ごはん日記。(Aya), recently shared a step-by-step guide to preparing a simple yet flavorful bento box, ideal for a partner. The video, titled 'Easy Daily Bento for Him,' highlights an efficient cooking process for busy individuals. The centerpiece of this bento is a spicy teriyaki chicken, prepared by first pan-frying chicken thigh pieces until golden. A quick homemade sauce, featuring gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, is then introduced to coat the chicken, creating a rich, glossy finish. For assembly, the creator advises placing a generous portion of rice at the base of the bento box, topped with black sesame seeds. Fresh shiso leaves are added, not only for their aromatic flavor but also for their purported antibacterial properties, which help keep the rice fresh. The teriyaki chicken is then carefully arranged alongside vibrant steamed snap peas, crisp broccoli, a perfectly boiled egg, and colorful crab sticks, completing a balanced and appealing meal. The bento is finished with a sprinkle of white sesame seeds for added texture and presentation. This practical guide offers inspiration for those looking to prepare delicious and convenient homemade meals.
