Pork Chop Onigirazu (Japanese Rice Sandwiches)
Onigirazu (Japanese Rice Sandwiches) is derived from Onigiri (Japanese rice balls). According to Eating With Your Hands, Onigirazu means “no shaping”. When making Onigiri, the rice needs to be shaped into a triangle, but no squeezing/shaping is needed when making Onigirazu. This explains the “razu”, which means “none”, or “without”. For the longest time, the husband has been hoping that I would make Onigirazu. And why not, I thought, since these fit right into my “Approved” list of fuss-free food to cook. These Japanese rice sandwiches can be filled with allll sorts of ingredients!
Pan-fried Chinese Dumplings with Corningware Retroflam Non-stick Cookware
[Advertorial] I don’t know about you, but many of the promised non-toxic non-stick pans I’ve used in recent years ended up sticking very badly. I’ve been looking around for a good non-stick pan that will err, stick around for a bit… and I think I’ve found it! My elderly aunts have been using non-stick pans ever since they (the pans, not the aunts) came into the market. The two old ladies love them and it’s not hard to see why. Non-stick pans promise easy and effortless cooking, but many in the market have synthetically-coated surfaces not particularly great for our health.
