Sanshoku Bento 三色弁当

Print RecipeJump To Recipe

Sanshoku Bento (Three Color Bento) | Easy Japanese Recipes at JustOneCookbook.comSanshoku Bento is very similar to Soboro Bento which I had previously shared on Just One Cookbook.  The bento includes ground chicken seasoned with the slightly sweet soy sauce flavor, served on top of steamed rice with scrambled egg.  The only difference here is I have also included flaked salmon.  Because there are three colors, this bento is known as “Sanshosku (three-color)” Bento.

By the way, don’t miss the WORLDWIDE BENTO GIVEAWAY at the end of this post!

On previous day, dinner was:  Sanshoku Donburi

Sometimes I add one more color to enhance the looks of Soboro Don.  This time I defrosted and bake Japanese Salted Salmon from the freezer.  Once it’s cooled, I break up the salmon into flakes.  Now your third topping is ready.

    • Hi Andria! You’re so sweet and kind… THANK YOU! I’m very frustrated with the email system but I think i got it and should work next time… but I’m too scared to make a promise after sending multi emails. Haha.

      Did you hear my scream when this happened? =P

  4. I love how you’ve arranged the 3 proteins in triangular wedges at one end of the bento with the fruit at the other. My own posts/pictures seem to be predominantly brown so the sheer colour in your posts make me envious. 🙂

    Hello Nami-san, I’m a few blogs behind due to the holiday season, but don’t want to miss the opportunity to say “Omedetoo Gozaimasu!” (Congratulations!) on the release of your new e-cookbook. I’m sure that it was quite an undertaking and will become a huge success… I also think that it was very thoughtful of you donating part of the proceeds for the victims in the Philippines typhoon recovery. As for your Bento recipes they all look so fantastic and artistic that it almost seems to be a shame to eat it… My bento boxes will have to escalate to another level to achieve such symmetry and beauty. Thank you again for the work that you do. Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!

    • Hi Tak-san! Thank you so much for the chili infused olive oil you have sent me! I was very surprised and thank you so much for the surprise present! I hope you received my card. I haven’t tested the oil yet (everyday is holiday get together…. miss home cook meal!), but will give it a try soon!

      Arigato for your kind words about my eBook! Happy Holidays to you too! Thank you once again!

        Hi Nami-san, Yes, I did received your card and you’re very welcome for the oil. I thought you might consider using it on some of your pasta recipes. Sometimes, I actually take my eye dropper with me to restaurants I go to just to add a little heat for the food I order… Enjoy!

    Thanks for the great idea on adding the Salmon flakes. The red in color of the strawberries sure makes the bento box looks appealing and appetizing. I love your revamped website.

  37. Love your new website format, Nami-san! Clear layout, easy to navigate and like your recipe index much better now. I know that is always a lot of work moving but it was worth it. I love your old fashion wood bento box. Large size with lots of yummy delights, but would need at least two of those for my hungry teenagers. Wishing you a safe and happy holiday. Take care, BAM

  41. Beautiful and inspiring bento, as always. I have once tried making salted salmon, but was too impatient and ended up grilling it for my husband before it actually changed the colour, consistency and taste. Thank you for reminding me of it. I must really persevere next time!
    My good new year’s resolution (among lots of others!) will be to make bentos more aesthetic than those I have been making until now. Your posts will be very helpful here 🙂

  48. So glad that you put your Soboro Don in this bento! It brought it back to my attention and I do remember craving it the first time I saw it . This appears to be a very high protein bento, more so than some of your others. Just what I need with the busy holidays!
