BENTO: Will I ever get sick of edamame?

Maybe someday. But not this day. Simple lunch today - somen with whole mini shitakes and edamame, dilled cucumbers, and blood orange slices.

This bento effectively uses up my current frozen supply of the glorious bean. I’ve looked for a supplier of fresh soybean at the market but no luck in Pasadena. I’ve seen them at the Hollywood market occasionally though. The shitakes are from my favorite (and only) mushroom vendor at Pasadena. In fact, aside from the beans and the somen, it’s a fully farmers’ market lunch, right down to the dill.
