Lemon is the standard brightner for fish. But yuzu (Japanese citrus) is fantastic, too! For summer bentos, cold ramen noodles serve as a beautiful base for salmon and shrimp. Add a few vegetables and you've got an easy balanced meal in a bento box.

Directions:
Pour hot water to the fill line of the Japanese noodles.
Keep covered for 3 minutes.

Garnish with veggies.
Drizzle with yuzu juice or sprinkle with yuzu flavored sesame seeds.
