Your bento staples

[Maneki Neko]

A few new additions to my bento staples list:
Lucban longanisa - Aside from frying it, I can also take it out of the casing and use in place of ground beef/pork in sauces and stir fry dishes.
Chicken fillets - andaming pwedeng gawin kasi sa kanya
Fish fillets - I love having my curry fish fillets

Another addition to my bento staples: microwaveable korokke! Nakabili ako nito sa Chotto Stop for P148 for a pack of 10 pieces. I have a kabocha flavored one and a kani cream one. Ang sarap nung kabocha. Medyo matamis tamis sya tsaka kitang kita mo yung squash sa loob.

I'll admit, I'm actually pretty bad when it comes to letting myself run out of quintessential ingredients, but I never ever run out of pasta (so if worst comes to worst, I can always throw together a quick pasta bento), nearly always have rice, and I always have nori....but to prove my point, I just ran out of soy sauce...so another thing that needs to go on the grocery list.

Yes, pasta is a definite staple. As long as you have pasta, you will never go hungry
