I'm going to make lunch for my senpai. They like beef and protecting underclassmen.

Maybe you could, ya know, give someone other than loving sempai a chance for once?

The key to a good bento is to pick food that still tastes good even after it cools down, since chances are by the time your buddy cracks the box open everything's going to be cold. Well unless you splurge and get some kind of thermal bento or skip class right before lunch to dash home and make something but details. Bentos lose a lot of mystique when you realize they're basically just high effort Lunchables. There's a main dish, and then some sides. I guess if you want to make the perfect bento you'd balance nutrients, flavors, and textures, but that's silly. Both because any student worth their salt won't care as long as it's free and because you probably don't know nearly enough about food to pull that off anyways. So instead you're going to have to resort to... the stash. Basically anybody who does any sort of arts and crafts hobby knows what I'm talking about here. Knitters keep a bunch of yarn at hand. Painters collect paints. Plamo aficionados build up backlogs. And aspiring bento chefs should keep a ton of leftovers. If you're the type to finish your plate, every time you make something, set aside a fourth of it before eating. How you decide to store the food is up to you, just make sure it's air-tight. Much more important is how they'll keep; preserved foods like pickles can last forever, but other things usually only stay nice for a week. And meat only lasts for 3-4 days. Another factor is what you're cooling. If the food is supposed to be moist (rice, rice, rice, oh my god rice), wrap it while it's still warm so you don't get something horribly dry. Meanwhile meats and veggies should be at room temperature before storage, lest moisture and ice build up on their surface. Soggy vegetables seriously suck, don't do that. Once you have a decent stash going (and don't rush to fill it up, if you're planning on making a ton of bentos at once you should just sit down, make some full meals, and then divvy them up full), it just becomes a game of choice. Variety is the spice of life, so mix up your selections. One day it's meat and potatoes with a side of salad, soy sauce, and some kind of soup. The next it's fried rice with some cucumber, mushrooms, and I don't know imitation crab meat? Whatever floats your boat. So with all of that said, your target likes beef? That's kind of a paradox, since beef is usually pretty pricey and bentos are supposed to be economical but oh well. Try stir fried beef, rice, some lettuce so they can roll up the beef if they want, and maybe some potatoes. Nikujaga is another nice option if you want to go full japanese. oh you were joking, sorry

Someone assemble a "goon bento" using Doritos, Cheetos, nacho cheese dip, chocolate bars and Chef Boyardee, with Gatorade or Mountain Dew to drink.

I can't wait to finally make lunch for senpai.

Eh, it doesn't particularly matter what you put IN the bento. Just make sure it isn't pinku (that's Japanese for pink) or any girl color. Also make sure it has 2 or more kotaba (that's Japanese for 2 compartments) and that it's chibi (small) sized. Most importantly, it has to be really kawaii (cute). Also, make sure the gohan (rice) doesn't touch any other things (it can get wet and senpai wouldn't like that)
