What To Do With Items Once They Have Been Used?
Some things you buy at the store can be used a second time. My son and I recently went to Costco together. My son is now 24 years old. He wanted to buy some Japanese Plum Wine. So I said if you want it your old enough. I started thinking after he brought the plum wine. There were Five or Seven plums at the bottom of the bottle. I began thinking what are we going to use the plums for once the wine is all gone. The answer popped into my head. We can make onigiri balls. This is the Japanese Word for rice ball. You make rice in your rice cooker. Then you form the rice around the plum. They are usually made in the form of a triangle. However, one word of caution, eat them when your not working. Eat them on the weekend. Because the amount of alcohol is very strong. Or Maybe cutting the plums in half. So there not as potent. All things done in moderation is a good thing. Micah 6:8 comes to mind. "He has told you. O man what is good. And what is Jehovah requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, cherish loyalty and to walk in modestly with your God!" Below is the bottle of Plum Wine my son purchased. It was very good plum wine. I would have to say one of the best I ever had. I will show you how to make onigiri balls soon. So stay tuned for up and coming attractions. Patience is the Key! Ok, folks, sorry for the delay had important business to take care of. So, as you can see with the pictures I posted. Number one clean hands first and then wet your hands again and sprinkle salt on them. Take some of the rice and form it in your hand with a small indent in the middle take the plum from the Plum Wine I cut it in half and removed the seed. Next take the plum and put it into the indent. Then take more rice and form it around the plum. The onigiri rice ball should look like a triangle. Then you take some of the seaweed and put it on the onigiri rice ball. Because the plum was in wine it will be sweet. Because plum wine is sweet. The seaweed gives it a salty taste as well. So those of you who like salty and sweet combinations will love this idea. So that's how simple it is to make Japanese onigiri rice balls. If you ever visited Japan you know you can buy these at the stores in Japan. Now you know how to make them yourself. Please pay $3.00 dollars for the instructions on how to make a rice ball. The last two pictures I added are packages you can buy at any Japanese store and make your own onigiri balls. Mitsuwa is a store in Arlington Heights where you can buy all the Japanese food you would like. They have the best bakery and in December they show you how Japanese make mochi in the store. It is very cool to watch. I also posted some pictures of packages you can buy to make onigiri balls with different type of plums with not plum wine. That is the traditional way onigiri balls are made.
