Hi MFP Gang,

I made THE MOST delicious thing last night -- if you like sushi this is a real hit!

FOR THREE -- Multiply or divide if required.

Ingredients -- 5 sheets of Nori seaweed, 1 cup (uncooked) of instant brown rice, three eggs, 1 tsp of sesame oil, canola cooking spray, 2 tbs sesame seeds, squirt of hot sauce.

Directions:
--Cook brown rice in the microwave, in a container with the lid (2 c water, 1 c rice, microwave for 8 minutes)

--Once rice is ready, use scissors to cut up seaweed into small pieces and add to rice -- put lid on and allow to sit while you go to make eggs

--spray frying pan with canola cooking spray and 'fry' three eggs, flipping once and leaving nice creamy yokes

--add eggs to rice and seaweed

--add sesame seeds

--add sesame oil

--add squirt of hot sauce (and maybe a small sprinkle of sea salt)

--MIX IT ALL UP AND ENJOY!

Mmmmmmmmmm it was SOOOO good.

I cook a lot of international foods cuz I find that I get variety that way and they are very flavourful. Tonight I'm making chicken shwarma with fattoush salad. I am making vegetarian moussakka tomorrow with rice cheese eggplant and tomatoes instead of a white sauce, and I'm doing a lot of asian soups and stir fries next week.

Can I come eat at your house?

These sound delicious!
