First time making bento for my little one

Long time lurker and first time poster!! I will hopefully get better at my presentation LOL but this is my first real bento for a work orientation tomorrow. :)

It was my first day back to grad school so i decided to go a little extra. Sushi bento was for lunch at work and then the tofu and cinnamoroll rice bento was for dinner at school. I am just a beginner but am so excited to keep on getting better. 🥰🍱

Hi friends, I’m looking for something the image with a larger box and internal (perhaps silicone) compartments can be removed for separate microwaving or freezing. The issue is I’m specifically looking for one where I can buy the matching removable compartments separately without having to buy another full set (ie I want one lunchbox and enough compartments to prep multiple meals in advance and then in the fridge or freezer until eating day). All i have found don’t provide but separate compartments, or provide generic compartments that don’t fit specifically in the box (usually soft cups or dip containers - not dupes of these custom compartments). Any suggestions eagerly welcomed! Thank you :)

Turkey sandwich, but make it a work of art! This is a soft swirl brioche bread colored naturally with butterfly pea flower powder that I baked yesterday. Who said lunch can’t be pretty?

Jammy eggs, gochujang bibimbap rice, gyoza, honey and salt popcorn, veggie straws, almond butter clusters and chocolate covered pomegranate. 😋

Inspired by the viral Trader Joe’s frozen kimbap, I made my own and freeze them so I can just grab them and go in the morning. I make mine with spicy mayo tuna (sriracha, mayo, tuna, salt, and pepper), julienned carrots, egg, yellow radish, and braised burdock. Normally I’d also add spinach, but I didn’t have any. I let them thaw out so that by lunch time, when I go to microwave them, the smell isn’t very strong and it prevents any cold/burnt spots. Plus it doubles as an ice pack during my morning commute.

Long-time lurker, first time poster here. Not new to packing my lunch, but new to bento. This super easy, super tasty tuna mayo rice bowl recipe is from NYT Cooking.

Since I've moved to a sedentary job a year ago, I've gained 6 kilos. I decided to get a pair of Mepal Midis to help me with portion control. Really liking the way it's built, the latch mechanism feels quite a bit more robust yet easy to open than what I am used to with lunch boxes. Gripper for scale.

Chicken/cheese stuffed croissants, spicy chicken and broccoli over brown rice with quinoa, dumplings with lao gan ma, chicken/bean/lentil madras, kimchi in the right box and kimchi bun in the left box.

Cat rice balls.
Steamed edamame and glazed salmon.
Sugar snap peas, Japanese sweet potato, and braised lotus root.
Special crab salad.
Field Roast stadium hot dogs with mixed mushrooms

I hope this alright to post! My wife made a video of her making a lunchables bento for me. She was really excited to make it! :)

I hope he likes it. I also hope his school doesn’t get upset with it (they can be picky). I’ve never made a bento for my son before 😅

Bento note for my son: Proud of you every single day. Can’t wait for you to zoom past me on Mario Kart later! ♡Nanay

Everything you see here except for the wheat bun was homemade! After purchasing a tamagoyaki pan, it became WAY easier to make it (last time it turned out very depressing😭)

First week of medical school! (Let’s see how long I can keep this up.)
