Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 1.5 cups of Japanese short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions and stir in furikake seasoning while warm.
- Boil 2 eggs for 8–9 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath, then peel and slice in half.
- Steam 1 cup of broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes until bright green. Transfer to an ice bath to keep crisp-tender.
- Combine soy sauce, mirin, sake (or water and sugar), and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Cook raw shrimp in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat for about 1 minute per side. Add teriyaki sauce and simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Assemble by dividing rice between two bento boxes, topping each with teriyaki shrimp, halved boiled eggs, steamed broccoli, and cherry tomatoes.
