For Asian Heritage Month, we bring you a breakfast bento bonanza! This spread celebrates the flavors and presentation we love about Japanese cuisine, all highlighted by a savory, citrusy yuzu-miso glaze from women-owned Asian brand Omsom. Top a mound of fluffy rice with soy-marinated hard-boiled eggs, and serve alongside glazed salmon, tender sweet potatoes, a bowl of warming miso soup, and an edamame-cucumber salad for fresh, crunchy contrast.

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add eggs and reduce to a low simmer. Cook for 11 minutes (set that timer!), then drain and cover with cold water. Bring rice, 1¼ cup water, and a pinch of salt to boil in a second small pot. Once boiling, reduce to simmer; cover and cook until tender, 15-18 min. Turn off heat, keep covered until ready to serve.
Reserve 1 tsp soy sauce in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Quarter cucumbers lengthwise; slice into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Toss sweet potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack for 15 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).
Meanwhile, peel eggs. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining soy sauce, 2 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and ½ cup water. Microwave until warmed through and sugar is dissolved, 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and turn to coat; set aside to marinate, turning occasionally.
Place edamame in a second medium, microwave-safe bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Microwave until warmed through. 30-45 seconds. Add cucumbers, scallion whites, dressing, 1 tsp vinegar, and ¼ tsp sugar; stir to combine. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Pat salmon* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Once potatoes have cooked 15 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Place salmon, skin sides down, on empty side and top with half the Omsom Japanese Yuzu Miso Glaze. Carefully toss potatoes with remaining Omsom Japanese Yuzu Miso Glaze. Return sheet to top rack and roast until salmon is cooked through and potatoes are tender, 8-10 minutes.
Add stock concentrates and 1 cup water to bowl with reserved soy sauce; whisk to combine. Microwave until hot, 2-3 minutes. Carefully stir in half the scallion greens.
Fluff rice with a fork. Halve marinated eggs. Divide rice between plates and arrange in the center. Top with eggs and drizzle with marinade to taste. Serve salmon, sweet potatoes, and edamame salad around rice. Sprinkle everything with remaining scallion greens. Divide soup between bowls and serve on the side.
Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness. Salmon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
Really liked the salad. Wish you would offer alternative cooking methods for those of us who no longer have or use microwaves. The salmon turned out really good. Mashed the sweet potato as that is the only way my son will eat them but they turned out really good. The miso soup was just okay. The egg was really good to our surprise, especially complimented the rice. I felt this meal was actually worth the extra charge. Would make again.
The instructions made it take forever to prepare this meal. It took two of us about an hour and a half to prepare. It was delicious though. Omsom is awesome. You should offer their sauces more often. We loved this meal. Would rather have a spring roll than the potatoes.
This dish is also very very sweet. I added additional vinegar to the salad and it turned out well. Quality of the salmon wasn't great. It tasted very fishy. I cooked this meal on the day it was delivered within 3 hours of delivery and the salmon was still very fishy tasting. Everything was just sweet. Having a less sweet element like making the salad more sour than sweet would greatly improve the dish. I did enjoy the sweet potatoes with the glaze very much. The eggs were also great. Though I cooked them 7.5 minutes to give me a runny yolk rather than a solid one. But the flavor was good.
Loved the salmon, the rice, the cucumber salad, however, the edamame were sour so I had to throw them out. I didn't care much for the sweet potato. But the flavor of everything was hands down, my favorite.
This was as pleasant as it looked, an interesting assortment of contrasting and colorful side dishes with salmon and miso soup.
It was a ton of food; I easily spit it into three potions. Very delicious. I enjoyed it as leftovers cold and all mixed together (minus the soup) and I think I liked it even better that way!
This was amazing! We thought it would be like an appetizer, but it was so filling and the flavors were wonderful!
Delicious, BUT if I'd read the cooking steps, I would have passed. Without a microwave this was a little overwhelming.
Fantastic meal! Very healthy, tons of ingredients and variety, lots of flavor. 10/10
This meal was THE most extensive meal to make. A zillion steps. Buuuuttttt, this was one of our fav meals to date!
