Went to Plaza Singapura for dinner with the family yesterday. After dinner, we went to Daiso and was amazed at the variety of Japanese things they carry. Bought 20 over items! All at $2 each!
What made me very excited was the mould I bought for Japanese rice. The shape was like a little pillow, or rather bolster. I thought this would be an excellent snack to prepare for the church refreshments--something which the youths would like.
After browsing through the kitchen section, I went to the food section of Daiso. Was thoroughly thrilled to find Japanese seasonings, furikake (to be sprinkled on the rice--see picture), crackers and so on. So you can imagine how much stuff I bought!
Tried out the mould and it worked very well. Just need to season the rice with the furikake--I added more black and white toasted sesame seeds. Use 1 packet of furikake for 4 cups of rice. Then put the rice on the mould, put on the cover and give it a tight squeeze. Remove the cover and push out the rice pillows. It is that simple! The kids love it and ate a lot! Maybe I shouldn't prepare this too often lest they overeat.
