Desciption

this recipe is adapted from one in bento boxes by naomi kijima. it is scaled for a single lunchbox (bento box) sized serving. add this to a big bowl of rice and veggies, maybe with some japanese type pickles, and you have a great lunch! this recipe is not a quick recipe, though; cooking time includes marinating time. i would suggest starting the chicken in the marinade, then starting your rice, then fixing everything else while you wait for these two to finish.
