We have gotten into a routine for Shinji's bento. Originally I was making four side dishes of mostly vegetables from land and sea. Shinji said asked for one more dish, ideally protein based. As the size of the bento is limited I started adding a protein over the rice and it seems to be just right. :-)
Over the rice is teriyaki pork. The side dishes are:
hard-boiled egg
pickled cucumbers with green shiso
steamed broccoli with mayonnaise
simmered nagahijiki (long hijiki) with carrots and green beans
