The salad is very easy to make, so this bento only takes up to 10 minutes to assemble, provided you have the dry curry mix pre-made and stashed in the freezer.

Brown rice porridge with azuki beans (azuki iri genmai gayu) Kayu (or okayu to use the honorific term) is a simple rice porridge, made from rice, water and a few other ingredients. When Japanese people feel sick, or they feel they’ve overeaten, they often turn to a bowl of kayu. It’s the answer to overfeasting, overdrinking, and general over-indulging. Kayu is related to congee and jook (or juk in Korean) - and loosely related to rice pudding and even risotto. All rice based food cultures have some kind of rice porridge. Kayu is also really well suited to thermal bento jars. This kayu is made with brown rice with the addition of azuki beans.
It does take some time to cook, so make it ahead of time and keep a pot in the fridge, or freeze it in portion-sized units. Recipe: Brown rice porridge with azuki beans (小豆入り玄米粥 - azuki iri genmai gayu) This will make about 6 cups of fairly thick kayu. 1 cup (240ml) brown rice, rinsed 3 tablespoons dry azuki beans a pinch of salt 5 cups (5x the amount of rice) water - try 7 cups for a looser porridge Toppings.
