Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the lamb pieces with minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated lamb and cook for about 10-12 minutes, until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
  4. Once the lamb is cooked, add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
  5. In each section of the bento box, place a portion of the lamb noodles, then add the sliced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a lime wedge on the side.
  6. Enjoy immediately, or let it rest for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

For a truly customizable experience, feel free to swap out the lamb for chicken or tofu if you're looking for a lighter option.
Experiment with different vegetables according to the season or your personal taste - bell peppers or snap peas could add a delightful crunch!
Leftovers can easily be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; simply reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water to loosen the noodles if necessary.
