love drowns out hate

Talk to me about rice- the magic of it, the wholeness of it, the surprising sweetness that blooms on your tongue in a slow, lingering mouthful, the flavors that vary between different grains. Talk to me about congee and biryani and onigiri and fan tuan and zhong zi and the crisped scrapings from the bottom of the pot that you can eat with peanut sugar or pour tea over to loosen the grains. Talk to me about mochi and guo ba and the addictive nature of rice crackers. Talk to me about rice.

Inarizushi is already sweet, and is not a nigiri or makizushi osy and wasabi experience!

OMNOMNOM o-inari-san...my mother likes to make it with soft stewed (redcooked?) carrots and bamboo shoots and shiitake, simmered in sweet soy/sake/sugar glaze, mixed into the rice.
