Snowboarding became an Olympic sport at the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. Shaun White, a leading US snowboarder, has participated in three Winter Games, earning a total of 18 Olympic medals.
My kids love watching Shaun White, performing his flips and tricks. (Sorry, I don't know much about snowboarding lingo.) I read somewhere that Shaun White loves Chinese food, so this bento lunch is in his honor.
The first layer of the bento is filled with a peppery stir fry. Strips of marinaded beef combine with matchstick carrots, broccoli florets, sliced onions and baby bok choy to create a delicious, veggie-packed meal.
Packed into the second layer is a bed of white rice, sprinkled with diagonally sliced green onions and topped with a nori snowboarder.
