Fried Rice Mix
Fried rice mix is called Charhan No Moto in Japanese and it is a simple-to-make family favourite that transforms whatever ingredients you have on hand into a quick meal. It captures the enchanting flavours of true Asian seasonings, but without all the heat and fire.

Nori No Tsukudani
Nori No Tsukudani is a black paste made from seaweed, soy sauce and Mirin in which you slather on rice. The salty flavour is strong, so you don’t want to eat it by itself. It is almost like a condiment for rice, just like butter for bread. Some people will add a bit to the rice as they eat, others will mix it all together.

Sandra Advice!
“Japanese style of porridge is rice which is really soft and creamy. It is easy to dissolve and a great dish to warm your belly up. It’s good in the morning, or when you fall ill and you do not want to eat anything too heavy.”
