Homemade Gyoza Wrappers. “Luck is like having a rice dumpling fly into your mouth.” — Japanese Proverb I’m a huge lover of all types of dumplings, especially Japanese gyoza. Living in Japan meant I was able to feed my inner gyoza monster on a regular basis. In our apartment complex in Tokyo we had a little mini supermarket in the courtyard. Squirrel and I would make daily pilgrimages there for things like milk, fresh veggies, or a piece of fish for dinner.
Now that we’re in the States, far away from my gyoza man, my options are much more limited.

Yaki Onigiri Recipe. January 30, 2010 yaki onigiri Onigiri are handheld, portable rice balls that are Japan’s equivalent to the sandwich. Japanese sushi rice is compacted into all sorts of different shapes, but you probably see triangular onigiri the most. Onigiri come plain or filled but my favourite way to have them is grilled. Sushi rice, water, square cookie cutter, mini onigiri mold, chicken wing sauce Yaki-onigiri is so popular you can find it in the frozen food section of Japanese grocery stores, just like pizza.
You can use your hands, a cookie cutter, or onigiri mold to shape the rice. Using the mini onigiri mold Make sure you wet your hands and the molds because sushi rice is super sticky. I started out by making some cubed onigiri because Mike prefers eating rice in cubed form. Onigiri molds work in pretty much the same way: pack the rice in, insert the top part of the mold, squish down and release your onigiri.

Rasa Malaysia Recipe Index. Ghost Recipe. Spaghetti and Meatball Pot Pie.
Remember those meatballs I made for a “special idea” on Friday? Here is that idea, Spaghetti and Meatball Pot Pie. I took the concept and figured if pizza was a good pot pie, then spaghetti and meat balls would be too. This isn't as much a recipe as it is a process. I started by greasing the inside of ramekins (1 cup sized, 3 1/2” in diameter). Then I put in a mix of white and mild cheddar cheese. Next I add in two of the meatballs and sauce. Top that with some vermicelli that had been tossed in the sauce too. Another piece of cheese. For the crust, we made one order of our standard pizza dough and then cut out 3 1/2” circles. I rolled those out a little bigger and then pressed them over the top of the ramekins. Since I wanted the crust to be reminiscent of garlic bread, I made a glaze of butter, roasted garlic, parsley and thyme. I fired up Alexis' Big Green Egg to 450f and set it up in “convection oven” mode with the plate setter legs down. About 15 minutes in, they started to brown.
