Instructions

1. Blanch the whole green beans in well-salted boiling water for 1-2 minutes, until they are your desired texture. Drain and plunge into ice water to set the colour.
2. Dry the beans with paper towels, trim the stem ends and chop into small pieces.
3. Grind the toasted sesame seeds, sugar and salt in a mortar or spice grinder, then toss the green beans with the mixture.
4. Put the shredded carrot and sliced onion in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt, mix and leave for 10-15 minutes.
5. When the carrot is limp, squeeze out as much water as you can by hand.
6. Dress the carrot and onion with the olive oil, red wine vinegar and parsley.
7. Mix the ground chicken with the sake, soy sauce, sugar and ginger juice in a non-stick pan, breaking up any clumps.
8. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking the meat into small crumbles with a spatula, until no liquid remains and the chicken is well cooked.
9. Beat the eggs, sugar and salt until the yolks and whites are thoroughly combined.
10. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat until warm but not scorching.
11. Pour in the egg and scramble vigorously with chopsticks or a whisk into small curds, until crumbly and no longer wet.
12. Spread the rice in a thin layer in the bento boxes, leaving a small gap at the edge. Fill the gap with the carrot salad and tomatoes.
13. Top the rice with the chicken, egg and green beans in any arrangement you like.
