Bento Lunchbox Ideas for My Japanese Kid in Canada *Veggie Summer*

I'd love to share a week of bento lunchboxes I made for my 2-year-old daughter who goes to daycare😊 If you're looking for ways to get your kids to eat more veggies and healthy meals, you might like to try the umami recipes in this video!

▼Today's Umami Tips
・Add a tiny bit of Japanese mustard to the mayonnaise for sandwiches.
・Combining cheese (Glutamate) and bonito flakes (Inosinate), or ham (Inosinate) and cheese (Glutanate), brings together multiple amino acids, boosting umami by 7 times.
・Wrap karaage (Japanese fried chicken) with nori (seaweed) to enhance its flavor.
・Use dashi packets when making simmered dishes to add umami.

▼About Umami Mom
Hi there! I'm a Japanese working mom living in Canada.
I introduce easy Umami recipes based on Japanese food.
My 2-year-old, Yui-chan, used to be a picky eater, but now she can eat almost everything after I learned about "umami" (she still sometimes refuses to eat depending on her mood, though 😅).
I would be happy if my videos could help someone looking for kid-friendly meal ideas.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!
