        fussymummy,

        your DS is very 懂事 knows how to save already...
        i also have little ideas what is good home-made choice for my DS...
        he seemed to prefer food at canteen and there was a time he told me food / snack sold in canteen was cheaper...
        😐

          My ds who is in p1 is also a fussy eater. Usually she packs bread, biscuits and sometimes fruits e.g watermelon, banana, grapes for her afternoon school recess.

              Hi, you can consider using Bento tools. Very Kawaii!! That's what mummies at japan did for their kids lunchbox.

                  My ds bring lunchbox to sch everyday. i packed all sorts of sandwich for different days e.g tuna, chicken, egg mayo, ham/cheese, sometimes wrap these ingredients into crepe or different types of wraps.

                    My girl is an athlete and gosh her appetite is like an adult. Rice with miso soup early in the morning. Thus i am always looking for new recipe to feed her. Onigiri sounds interesting and it is too much work?


                    Regards,

                      It all depends if you are a fast worker or not. I usually spent about 30-40 min every morning to prepare breakfast, recess and lunch for my girls.

                      It will be helpful if your rice cooker has a timer. It gets the rice ready when you wake up and all you need is to add sushi vinegar to the rice, stir thoroughly, cooled, than shaped and wrapped.

                      For a more professional look, buy the ready wrapper with seaweed inserted. Instructions on how to wrap a triangular onigiri is on the wrapper itself. Hygienic and seaweed remains crisp when eating.
