Step 1

Fill up half of the bento box with Japanese rice. Let it cool so that hot/warm rice will not warm up other cool food.

Step 2

Pan fry leftover gyoza or bake in a toaster oven until it's warm.

Step 3

Pack soy sauce in a sauce container (I bought it at a local Daiso, a Japanese dollar store).

Step 4

Wash tomatoes and lettuce, and pat dry. Place nicely in the bento box along with broccoli.

Step 5

Pack cooled gyoza, tamagoyaki, and chikuwa cucumber.

Step 6

Sprinkle furikake on top of slightly cooled rice.

Step 7

Cool down completely before closing the bento box.
