Use Cookie Cutters on Ham, Cheese and Thin Layer of Fried Eggs!



I know sometimes you have left over Pasta and Stir fried noodles in your refrigerator.
Or simply you want to give your child some spaghetti noodles in a lunch box. You can still make the pasta lunch cute with a slice of  ham, cheese or thin layer of fried egg by using any cookie cutters. Just like I did the picture above!

First I beat an egg in a small bowl and add small amount of milk(any milk is fine. if you don't have any, you can even add water or sake, anything.lol). Fry the beaten egg on small pan. Make sure it's a very thin layer like .... a piece of sliced ham or something. You take it out, and cool it off. Once it's cooled off, you can cut it by cookie cutter. Simply place it on top of pasta, any noodles or even for bed of fried rice/white rice.

I buy lots of Bento goods at Japanese dollar stores in Japan. I recently found they sell some here too so if you are interested, go to http://www.daisojapan.com/. If you are in California, you can also visit to ICHIBANKAN.  I love both of the stores!

P.S.
When the noodles are cold, they seem to become little flavorless. So make sure you add extra sauce or soysauce to make it a little more flavorful or little salty when you put pasta or noodles in the lunch box(unless you are using the thermos lunch box).
