If you went to elementary school in South Korea back in the old days, chances are your mom made you a bento box like this one. It’s a copper plated tin box that almost looks like gourmet chocolate packaging. They serve this at a local Korean restaurant in Seattle – only it isn’t meant to be eaten for lunch. No, it’s actually a snack you can eat while you’re drinking Soju or other popular Korean liquor. The contents are pan-fried kimchi, a couple of fried eggs, some anchovies, red pepper paste, and the rice all neatly put together inside the box. And while you’re running along to school on an early weekday morning, the contents of the box would shift and shake in your backpack. So, by lunch time, you’ve got yourself a nice bibimbap style meal. Delicious? Yes. Simple? Yes. I like to add a little bit of sesame oil in mine. Try this out at home!

Looks like scrambled brains…ewwwwwww
That still doesn’t beat my A-Team lunchbox and thermos! I would put egg, cheese, flour, mustard, pickles, yogurt, oreos and orange juice in there and then shake it. DELICIOUS!
