This bento box is built around Sempio 701 Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce 29.08 fl oz, giving the dish salty, savory, fermented, and umami-rich. It is designed for busy cooks who want reliable timing, a clear sauce ratio, and a direct product guide for the key sauce.

Why this recipe works

The recipe keeps the sauce step simple: loosen the bottled sauce with a small amount of liquid, cook the protein first, add vegetables second, then finish with sauce at the end. This keeps the soy sauce glossy instead of burnt and helps the shrimp stay tender.

Cookware, heat, and timing

Use a large skillet and cook over medium heat. Prep takes about 14 minutes and cooking takes about 19 minutes. Keep the ingredients close to the stove before you start because the final sauce step moves quickly.

Serving ideas

Serve this with 3 cups cooked rice, sliced scallions, sesame seeds, cucumber, and a simple salad. For more ideas, browse the soy sauce recipe and product category or the full recipe library.

Quick answer

For a reliable soy sauce bento box, use 2 tablespoons sauce for 1 pound of peeled shrimp, cook in a large skillet over medium heat, and add the sauce during the final 1 to 2 minutes.

Ingredients

What you need

  • 1 pound peeled shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons Sempio 701 Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce 29.08 fl oz
  • 1 tablespoon water or rice vinegar

  • 3 cups zucchini
  • 3 cups cooked rice or noodles
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

How to make it

  1. Minute 0 to 5: Pat the shrimp dry, cut it into bite-size pieces, and set out the large skillet.
  2. Minute 5 to 8: Whisk Sempio 701 Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce 29.08 fl oz with 1 tablespoon water or rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger until the sauce looks smooth and pourable.
  3. Minute 8 to 10: Warm 1 tablespoon oil in the large skillet over medium heat until the oil looks glossy but is not smoking.
  4. Minute 10 to 17: Cook the shrimp, stirring or turning as needed, until it is opaque and firm.
  5. Minute 17 to 22: Add the zucchini and cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are bright and tender-crisp.
  6. Minute 22 to 33: Pour in the sauce mixture and simmer 1 to 2 minutes until glossy, then pack with rice and vegetables with scallions and sesame seeds.

Tips

Make it yours

  • Cookware: use a large skillet so the food has enough room to brown instead of steam.
  • Heat: keep the pan at medium heat; lower it if the sauce starts to darken before the food is cooked.
  • Flavor adjustment: add 1 teaspoon extra sauce at the end for stronger flavor, or add water 1 tablespoon at a time if it tastes too salty or thick.
  • Shopping note: use the Amazon product link on the sauce guide to confirm current price, delivery speed, and availability.
