I made some food out of The Vegan Chinese Kitchen the other day and had leftovers. I really like this cookbook. It has exactly the same flavor profile as the food I ate when I was in Taiwan.
This bento would be pretty un-colorful otherwise due to the paleness of the gan tofu so I went out of my way to make purple rice. I made the rice purple by adding in some grains from a zakkokumai packet while the rice was cooking.
This is about a 460 calorie bento.
Purple rice with Edamame: About 190 calories.
Leftover Braised Tofu Sheets with Pepper (Jian Jiao Gan Dou Fu): About 170 calories.
Stir Fried Broccoli with Sichuan Pepper: About 50 calories.
Half a folded Just Egg: About 50 calories.
I originally got the folded just eggs thinking I was going to make vegan bacon egg and cheeses. But the vegan bacons are just not up to par yet…
