These cute rice balls make a great appetizer for Asian meals. The recipe calls for brown rice, but substituting in some sushi rice and adding fillings like avocado or smoked salmon gives you a fun variation on standard sushi rolls.
serves/makes:
ready in: 1-2 hrs
ingredients
1 cup quick brown rice 1 1/2 cup water 1/4 teaspoon salt 8 sheets sushi nori seaweed* 1/2 carrot umeboshi paste*
directions
Cook rice in water over medium-high heat until tender and water is absorbed, then cool to room temperature. Cut carrot in 1/2-inch match sticks and steam lightly.
Place several spoonfuls of rice in the center of each nori sheet. Follow with several carrot sticks and a dab of umeboshi. Roll up into a ball.
Serve with a sauce made of soy sauce and grated ginger.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
