おうちごはん! (Ouchigohan) Sanshoku Gohan

Sanshoku Gohan (三色ご飯) is a meal in a bowl. It also makes a perfect bento box lunch! Three (san) different color toppings: seasoned meat (or tofu), scrambled egg, and a green veggie are set on top of hot rice (gohan) for a blend of classic Japanese flavors.

Traditionally made with ground chicken you can substitute ground beef, pork, or tofu. This is very easy to make and the slightly sweetened meat makes it a favorite with kids. We round the meal out with a simple miso soup. And for a special treat we celebrate the fall fruit, apples, by learning how to make an apple bunny – essential fare for every kid’s bento box.
