Salmon and Shrimp Ramen Salad Bento

HEALTHY JAPANESE FOOD BENTO

Lemon is the standard brightner for fish. But yuzu (Japanese citrus) is fantastic, too! For summer bentos, cold ramen noodles serve as a beautiful base for salmon and shrimp. Add a few vegetables and you've got an easy balanced meal in a bento box.

  5. Place the ramen or similar Japanese noodles into a bento box (or plate.)
  6. Decorate with shrimp and salmon flakes.
  7. Garnish with veggies.
