Well since the first attempt was such a hit, um, how was I going to top that. Well I had cooked soo much for dinner that there was more than enough for a "left-overs" lunch, problem solved.
I didn't have any cutesy rice molds (but am saving up for future bento haulage, lol), so I improvised. I had found a small container that had never been used, so I tried molding the rice with that. Worked like a charm. Trick that I found was that the rice should be warm, to stick together well and plop out of the mold easily. And since the main entree was kinda stew-like, I had lined that side of the bento container with plastic wrap, so as not to stain the nice container. (Something I experienced when packing leftover spaghetti...could hardly get those sauce stains off.)
So hopefully the hubby and son will like it, promise the next one will be more "eye pleasing"!
