Why I Love This Recipe
This is an authentic Asian recipe that was prepared and shared for our family many years ago. My sister was a student at Iowa State University in the early 80's, and over Christmas one year, she invited a fellow student who was attending school from Japan to our home for the holidays. The student, Mayumi, would have spent Christmas alone, so we very much welcomed her to our home. She in gratitude prepared this dish that was fabulous, and is a perfect memory of sharing our Christmas with a friend from another culture. She also educated us about rice, that it shouldn't be light and fluffy, but rather sticky for Asian dishes to enable using chopsticks!
