CRISPY ASIAN RICE SQUARES WITH SAUCE VARIATIONS
These are very popular in Japan, and you can get them from street vendors dotted about the various cities. One day I watched my favorite vendor make them, and this is my version of these tasty treats. Not only do these babies taste awesome, they create a beautiful presentation for your next dinner party. So, you ready......

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your ingredients.
- 3. Cook the rice according to package directions.
- 4. While the rice is still warm, shape it into squares.
- 5. Chef's Note: I use a square mold to achieve the nice squares. In Japan the most popular shape was a pyramid.
- 6. Chef's Tip: Why sushi rice? Sushi rice is very sticky, and will hold together better than other types of rice.
- 7. Add a bit of peanut oil to a skillet over medium-high heat.
- 8. Add the rice squares.
- 9. Lightly brown them on all six sides, about 90 seconds per side.
- 10. Remove from the oil and brush with your favorite sauce.
- 11. Sauce: You can use just about anything that you wish for the sauce. • Japanese soy sauce • Oyster sauce • Tamari sauce • Japanese fish sauce • A mixture of tamari and honey (my favorite) • Various jams, like apricot or apple
- 12. After brushing with the sauce, return them to the skillet, for a second browning, about 30 seconds per side.
- 13. Chef's Tip: It's this second browning, that really infuses the flavor into the rice.
- 14. ADDITIONAL VARIATION
- 15. Instead of just rice, why not put a surprise in the center, like a piece of sesame chicken, or crispy beef...
- 16. PLATE/PRESENT
- 17. Remove from the skillet, and serve while still nice and warm. Enjoy.
- 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
