Japanese School Lunch: Week 18
Oct 29 2008 • Japanese School Lunch
Please note that the American menu provided is from my middle school in the US. It is meant to serve as a comparison.
I love hiyashiichuuka and chicken stuffed with cheese, so quite possibly, September 30th is the best lunch I’ve had this year. Even including the stuff I make at home on the weekends.

| My employer needed to use my memory card for a project so I was unable to take a picture today. It was a bizarre request. | |

| Hiyashichuuka is a summer food. It’s basically cold noodles in a sweet and tangy sauce, covered with things like cucumber and ham. Toppings vary depending on personal preference. | |

| I lost my bento that day and didn’t have time to put it in anything better. I receive mini lecture from the preschool kids about how bad I was. | |

What shaaall we do with you? :)
Definitely interested in this hiyashiichuuka.
@issa-sa: Healthy, yes, and also not so delicious. T-T
@Ryan A: It’s really quite hilarious to be lectured by 5 year olds who still have problems eating with chopsticks and sharing toys. And they’re so serious about it too.
Hiyashiichuuka is really simple. I think it’s cold boiled ramen noodles in a watered down soy/vinegar/sugar mix with a bunch of stuff put on top. Obviously fresh or refrigerated ramen noodles are better but you could probably use dry too.
