Because these are made with glutinous rice, the outside is crispy while the inside stays chewy! The rice balls are seasoned inside and out, making them so delicious you might eat more than you planned.Recipe background: I love the chewy texture of glutinous rice, so I tried making grilled rice balls with it.

Every year during chestnut season, I always cook the chestnut rice. I normally mix it with Japanese sweet rice and also regular Japanese rice.

I got a yogurt straining kit, so I made a recipe using strained yogurt.Lean beef is best for this.Adjust the amount of yogurt to taste.I flavored the beef slightly differently to go well with the yogurt. Recipe by mama deko

You can change from beef to Pork. This photo is Beef.

A very easy dish and super with rice

I bought a ton of Japanese leeks at the morning market with the mud still on them.They're so easy and delicious! I made these since I wanted to eat a lot.These got all eaten up!! My husband loves them, too.I posted this as a memo to myself.The white part of the leek is packed with fragrant enzymes that helps improve blood circulation.You can also grill the Japanese leek on the grill or in a toaster oven.I use rice vinegar (Mitsukan brand), but feel free to use your choice of vinegar.

A nice favour for dinner with rice.

I love boiled nagaimo yams with bonito flakes, so this time I made it with potatoes that I made in my garden.This is sweet and salty. Adjust the flavoring to your liking! For about 2 people. Recipe by Yagirinonegichan

I thought the cauliflower I had in the fridge might be good with bonito dashi. I made a simple Tosa-style stew with it.The cauliflower loses its nice texture when overcooked. When it is just cooked through, turn the heat off and let it absorb the flavour of the bonito dashi in residual heat. For 2 servings. Recipe by Niwanomomo

I loved this dish since I was a kid. I could eat it with a lot of rice.I sometimes add chikuwa fish cake or burdock fish cake. I added meat so that my husband would eat well.If you cook the sauce too long, it's going to be too salty, so be careful.I twisted konnyaku for this recipe but you can simply treat the konnyaku like I did in this recipe.)

This mixed rice uses kombu (kelp) used for making dashi, so nothing goes to waste! Since I bought a rice cooker, I've been able to try more variations for our family meals.How this recipe came about:I always look forward to opening the rice cooker—the wonderful aroma and the colorful rice make me happy. I got a new rice cooker, so I decided to make this dish!

You can make it silced beef and Potatoes.
