The ladybugs are made out of rice, coloured with beet powder. The boys had onigiri, panko chicken, broccoli, golden kiwis and strawberries. :)
Spot the tiny ladybug pick! :)
And ladybugs sandwiches for them to bring to School.
There's grapes and panko chicken hidden under the sandwich. :)
Panko chicken salad for my lunch. :) The chicken was just seasoned with salt and pepper, then pressed onto panko and pan fried. I skipped the usual flour-egg-panko dipping step to save time.
Tried colouring my bread with these butterfly pea flower yesterday. Not as blue as I would like it to be, but the colour is quite pretty. :)
Oh, what a great Idea the ladybug sandwiches and rice ladybugs are! And I like the color of the bread. A little bit purple? Yeah, but I like it! :)I've never seen a butterfly pea before. I've searched for it in the internet. It's very beautiful! Mmmmh I have lunchtime now. I'm hungry. ;)
ReplyDeleteTks a lot, Maya. The locals use this flower to dye their cakes. The colour is different now, more blue, I used it to make a smurf bento today, will share later.
