DYNAMITES
These are a classic Rhode Island treat. So delicious in a soft sub-roll with a little salt on top. My toddler loves to dip chips in it too. This can also be cooked in a slow cooker.

MOM'S DYNAMITE SANDWICHES
Whenever we had a family get-together and my mom had a lot of people to feed, she'd make her delicious dynamite sandwiches. I am from Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and this is a staple in this area. Dynamites are to Woonsocket what cheesesteaks are to Philadelphia. -Kathy Hewitt, Cranston, Rhode Island

DYNAMITE
A Rhode Island exclusive. Kind of like a Sloppy Joe but far superior. Spicy enough to earn it's name, it's best washed down with a good beer. For you non Rhodey people, torpedo rolls are just the long sandwich rolls.

Steps:
- Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper, red pepper, yellow onion and red onion to the skillet, and cook until meat is evenly browned and vegetables are tender. Drain excess grease from the pan.
- Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker, and stir in tomato paste, water and red pepper flakes. Cover, and cook at the Low setting for at least 4 hours. I usually let it go for 12. The longer it simmers, the spicier it gets! Spoon into torpedo rolls and serve.

RHODE ISLAND DYNAMITES
Another name for these are "Torpedos". These were a staple in our family for a quick meal that serves a lot of people. They are similar to a "Sloppy Joe", but in R.I. it is called a "Dynamite". This recipe is versatile and can be scaled down or up. It freezes well and tastes best if made 1-2 days ahead.

Steps:
- In a very large stockpot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, stirring often.
- Add the chopped green and red peppers, onions, and garlic; mix well.
- When the vegetables begin to soften, add the tomato sauce, bay leaves, parsley, hot pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Rice: Use short-grain rice like Japanese rice or sushi rice for the best texture.
- Wash the Rice Properly: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
- Use the Correct Water-to-Rice Ratio: The general rule is 1 cup of rice to 1.25 cups of water. However, you may need to adjust this ratio depending on the type of rice and your desired consistency.
- Cook in a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will distribute heat evenly, preventing the rice from sticking to the bottom.
- Don't Peek or Stir: Once the rice is cooking, avoid lifting the lid or stirring the rice. This will disrupt the cooking process and result in unevenly cooked rice.
- Let the Rice Rest: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and become fluffy.
Conclusion:
Making perfect Japanese rice is an art form that takes practice and patience. By following these tips, you can create delicious, fluffy, and authentic Japanese rice that will complement any meal. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of rice, water ratios, and cooking methods to find the perfect combination for your taste. With a little practice, you'll be able to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
