Onigiri and Noodles Bento


I've been working with a number of foreigners in the past few years and all of them are amazed at how big Pinay's appetites are but still manage to be "skinny" in their eyes. And who wouldn't be amazed? We eat rice for merienda. Eat starch and starch, carbs and carbs together in one meal but we're still fairly smaller than foreigners. Take this bento for example. It contains onigiri (rice balls) and noodles. I used vermicelli, our regular sotanghon and vegetables - carrots, snap peas, green pepper and added a few shrimps. To season, anything goes! I used Kikkoman, pepper and mirin.

So what's your favorite starch/carbs combo?
