whole grains. the palm of your hand.


i would like to go ahead and thank the Japanese, and their neighbors, publicly --

for the rice ball (!)

first: cook rice. for mine, brown, with some broth and pleasantly salted. (and in a rice cooker).

second: while rice cooks, get creative -- get personal with a small pan of something. make it strong, spicy, tangy, or what have 'you'. (in the above there are: scallions with jalepeños; also, onion and chopped mushrooms, with red chilis and parsley)

third: let rice cool enough to handle in a bowl with a drizzle of rice vinegar. make ready full sheets of nori seaweed by dividing, folding or cutting each into four pieces. optional, but lovely, is to (dry) pan-toast sesame seeds as well.

fourth and final: with wet hands, scoop rice into palm, 1/2" flat or so with a deeper something in the middle. spoon or press desired filling sparingly into center. bring sides up and around filling creating a ball of rice (if the 'walls' are too thin, pad them with more rice). as long as the rice is still warm, you should not need to (and might rather not) press too hard. set ball on nori square and bring corners up. if there are toasted sesame seeds in the vicinity, roll the exposed rice in the seeds.

this is the best food.

(no offense to other food)
