I had this at an amazing sushi restaurant in Charlotte and tried to replicate it. I do have some work to do to master it though! :)

You need:
1 cup of rice
teriyaki sauce

  • take hot rice and put it in a saran wrap.
  • shape into a ball or triangle
  • heat a fry pan with a little bit of teriyaki sauce 
  • heat rice ball on both sides until a little brown.
  • it may fall apart so be careful not to saturate it too much with the sauce!

recipe hiatus

Well, thanks to my mid-winter break and us traveling to the wonderful cities of Indy and Chicago, I am now a lot more behind on my recipes! But our travels have also provided inspiration for new recipes, thanks to the various restaurants and delicious food we have eaten!
So be on the lookout for Irish Nachos, Chicago deep dish pizza (or at least attempting), bagels, peanut butter and jelly bread, and stuffed hamburgers.
I also have about 3 recipe books I think I need to buy :) but I guess I should check the library first!

That's all from snowy Chicago!
Be on the lookout for recipes as early as Sunday!
