Valentines day bento


I know it's a few weeks late, but this was a pre-Valentines day bento that I made my for my wife. (duck breast blows the budget for my normal bento list of people)

I marinated a duck breast in a hoison, plum, ginger sauce and then sous vide-ed them for about two hours. I actually ran a test with a Anova immersion circulator head to head against my new Nomiku. (I'll post details later) Then I used a heat gun (thanks for the suggestion from CookingForEngineers) to broil the duck breast. Finally I topped it with a little pat of foie gras mousse.

To keep with the asian theme I put together a bit of sesame fried rice. I used sesame oil (a little goes a long way) and a bit of scallion for flavor and aroma.

Roasted broccoli and cauliflower with garlic and red chili

Finally I sautéed Chayote in a bit of butter.

haha the heat gun! Looks delicious - I saw one the other day and I knew exactly what it was.
