In Japan there is a great TV morning program called Hanamaru Market. I often find great ideas for adding variety to Shinji's bento. This very simple recipe is to stuff chikuwa (grilled fish cakes) with vegetables, such as blanched okra or julienned carrots. It is a nice contrast of flavors and textures. In the bento above it is the white round fish cake stuffed with okra.
2 pieces of okra
1 piece of chikuwa
Quickly blanch the okra and stuff into a piece of chikuwa. Slice in half at a diagonal.
