Turmeric leaves are fragrant and they impart their heavenly aroma and flavor to anything cooked in them/using them.

Rice dumpling is one of the easiest Japanese sweets. And sauce is a bit southern taste with coconut milk.

You can wrap a whole meal in these leaves and reheat for later. It's delicious too! You can find banana leaves at your local asian grocery store. Extra leaves can be frozen in a ziplock bag for up to 6 months. Sticky rice is also marketed as "glutinous rice". If for some reason you can't get your hands on thai sticky rice (I couldn't) you can use any short grain high starch rice. I used risotto.

I am a fan of Issei crab-flavored processed fish sticks, and I often use them. My family loves rice dumplings, so I combined the two. My family loves these! I really recommend this.Add enough tofu to the rice dumplings so that they become soft like your earlobes. You can use green onions, aonori seaweed, or green peas in place of the shiso leaves, if you wish. You can add either processed cheese or melting cheese. These also taste great if you cover them with the sauce while warm. They stay soft even the next day. Recipe by Renbasu

I was thinking that it's a bother to haul out the steamer to steam shumai dumplings, so I thought of cooking in the rice cooker instead. I also thought that sweet rice shumai dumplings can't be the main carbohydrate on their own... so I tried making the rice for the meal with the dumplings, and it succeeded. We use this "two birds with one stone" recipe all the time now.You can use Chinese cabbage, regular cabbage or komatsuna greens, but Chinese cabbage is very watery so you may need to adjust the amount of water added to the cooker. Regular rice may not work, since the lettuce and shumai dumplings will become immersed in water. (I haven't tried it out though.)Try different variations of the rice and shumai dumplings and adjust the amounts of your ingredients to taste. For 2 rice cooker cups' worth of rice and 7 shumai (siumai) dumplings. Recipe by Masapandayan

Kozhukkattai is made by using different methods. This is a plain version with no filling inside. It's very easy to make. It can be a snack or breakfast. It's mostly made in Southern side of India. One thing you've to be careful about is, adding the water to make the dough, so that, the dough is not too loose or not too hard, just soft. You can add more or less grated coconut according to your wish.

I saw a comedian making dango on TV and got some hints from that and made this recipe.I thought that maybe my 2-year-old and 10-month-old year old daughter could help me making this while having fun so I put the rice in a plastic bag. This made it much easier to make the dango than grinding the rice in a mortar. By putting the rice in a plastic bag, I was able to play with my child while making the dango. My daughter helped me a little bit too.Mash the rice until they lose shape. You can also enjoy this dango coated in kinako powder or with azuki bean paste instead of mitarashi sauce.

I wanted to make a simple yet hearty soup with suiton (wheat dumplings) for the cold-weather, using just a few ingredients that the children would love.From Step 7 on, make sure the soup doesn't come to a boil by heating over low.In Step 8, the photo features dropping in the dough with one spoon because I was holding the camera in the other hand, but it's easier to do if you use two spoons. For 4 servings. Recipe by caramel-cookie
