The Arrangement of Obento.

Traditionally it is made in a 4: 3: 2: 1 ration: 4 parts rice, 3 parts side (fish or meat), 2 parts vegetables, and 1 part of picked vegetables or dessert. But really you can put just about anything you want inside.

For this tutorial i used a sort of two halfs. one half is the 4 parts rice, the other half makes up the 3 parts side, 2 parts veggi, & 1 part dessert.

Foods used: Homemade Shrimp tempura, short grained white rice, egg furikake, salad *lettace, spinich, carrot, avacado* egg, and peach hard candy.

Really, you can arrange obento in any shape or form you like. Creativity is up to you. this tutorial is to just give an idea or give you a beginner's start.

Tutorial based off of ~sake-bento's version.

Do you think it would be strange if I got a bento and brought it to school? (I don't have Japanese heritage and I'm American, but I think they're cute :) )

you don't have to be of japanese heritage to bring bento to your school/work. I myself don't find it strange but that is me and not someone else. i don't think most people in america would know what bento is so they may be interested in why you have such a cute lunch!
