Luckily I had the foresight to pick up two nice thin steaks and some thin pork chops while we were shopping yesterday. I broke both of these down into Bento size portions - the steak by cutting it and placing it between layers of wax paper, and the pork by putting two of the small thin chops in a ziploc bag. This gives me something like 5 servings of steak and four of pork (although the amount of pork may be too much for one day's Bento). So last night I cooked a bit of the steak with a lot of soy sauce to sort of "cure" it.
I also tried out my smaller onigiri maker and it worked amazingly! Seen here: From Japan With Love. I made up a batch of rice and then a small bowl of salt water. I wanted to be extra sure that the mold did not stick. I filled it to the top of the container (I personally packed it a bit full) and then simply inserted the press and voila, cute and adorable triangle onigiri.
Here is Logician's, find mine after the break.
