Ginger, Soy and Sesame Noodles by RiA


I got this recipe originally from Rachael Ray's Site, a well known figure from Lifestyle Network. Most of the ingredients from the recipe is not popular here so I decided to make a little twist but still maintain the title. I failed to have a honey so I substituted brown sugar and a little water. I also added some carrots and bean sprouts to make it healthier.

Here are the Ingredients:
Smooth peanut butter
Honey (or Brown Sugar w/ little water)
Soy Sauce
Sesame oil
Grated Ginger
Spaghetti, cooked and rinsed under cold water
Toasted Sesame Seeds (optional)
Bean Sprouts,blanched
Carrots, blanched

Heat peanut butter over low heat on stove until mushy. Whisk honey and Soy sauce into the peanut butter, then whisk in the sesame oil and the ginger. Toss the spaghetti with the sauce. If you want to get really groovy with the noodles, sprinkle them with sesame seeds. If you want to bump up the crunch factor, add some shredded carrots, scallions, bean sprouts or other veggies.
This dish is super yummy and nutritious too because of the veggies. You can add more veggies that you want as long as you blanch it first. You can also add a little bit sauce it you want. I hope you like this. Don't forget to leave some comments. Until my next dish! See yah!

Corned Beef and Cheese Rice Balls by RiA

I got this from Flavors Magazine. It looked so delicious in the picture and it was so easy to do. I had a little bit of problem at first because the rice I made was not so sticky and the original recipe calls for a cubed cheese and rolled into the corned beef. I made a solution for both the problems I had. I added more water in the rice to make it stickier and then cooked the corned beef and cheese together and then rolled in the rice.


Ingredients:
Cheese, Grated
Corned Beef
Rice, cooked
Eggs, beaten
Japanese Breadcrumbs
Cooking oil for deep frying

Procedure:
Cook the corned beef together with the grated cheese. Get a spoonful of corned beef and wrap with cooked rice. Roll on palms to make even balls. Place each rice ball on a tray liked with baking paper and freeze.
When ready to cook, heat oil in pan. While the rice balls are still in frozen state, dip in beaten eggs and roll in Japanese Breadcrumbs. Deep fry rice balls in hot oil until golden brown. You can dip this with garlic sauce or any dip you want.

I tasted sooo delicious and very filling because of the rice. You can use other mixture inside and be inventive. Until my next dish! See yah!
