Lunch in the new bento box

The tiny space is a fun challenge to fill! The big box is about 6" x 4" x 2". And yes, those are some new little dipping cups I got on eBay. :)

In the big box, you see rice (leftover from semi-sucessful sushi-making), Thai bean cakes , roasted red pepper dipping sauce and steamed broccoli. In the little box is most of a granny smith apple and some magic no-calorie chocolate dip that's actually pretty tasty. More like fudge than chocolate, but good!

The bean cakes are meant to be a veggie version of Thai fish cakes, and they taste good (spicy!), but the texture isn't right. I perused the cookbooks last night, though, and I think I have a new plan of attack. When I get it right, I'll post the recipe, since it's mighty good, even as-is.

I'll post the red peppper dipping sauce recipe soon, because it's a yummy, easy thing that I think will become a staple in my fridge.
