At every grocery store, corner market and restaurant we have seen (and tried) balls of rice with different seasonings or fillings in them. We all like them, so when I saw a package of seasoning packets at the 100 Yen Store I bought it.
The instructions were in japanese, but I read between the Kanji and deciphered to read "One packet mixed into 180 grams of cooked rice" Of course, we have no idea what the "flavors" are so I asked the kids, "Green, Yellow or Purple". They chose green, which had a picture of what could be a leaf, or an onion... not really sure. I learned that 180 grams is about 6 ounces (give or take), mixed it up and using plastic wrap formed 4 little rice snacks. To be authentic, they should be in a triangle. I will be buying a rice form next time I am at the Yen Store
I served them up, we each tried one, then wished I had made more :) There was enough left over rice after dinner to mix up one more batch, this time using the purple packet. The purple packet had a picture of berries, or beets, or maybe the purple sweet potato. I guess we will find out when we eat them with lunch today. I am going to try to remember to take the package with me to have one of our Japanese friends at church tell me what the flavors are supposed to be.
