Japanese style garlic fried rice is often served at Teppanyaki restaurants as a side dish for steaks or grilled seafood. Minced fresh garlic is slowly cooked in olive oil and butter in a frying pan, and the cooked steamed rice is fried in the aromatic oil. Similar to garlic noodles or garlic bread, the flavor combination of garlic, oil, and rice can’t go wrong. This is an easy to make side dish, and the flavor is so addictive! You can double the recipe if you cook on a griddle or a large skillet.

Folding Onigiri is another way to make Onigiri (おにぎり) rice ball. In this way, you don’t have to hold and shape steamed rice directly in your hands, therefore rice doesn’t stick everywhere. It is also called Onigirazu. All the fillings including rice are placed on a sheet of Nori roasted seaweed, and everything is neatly folded together like Origami paper. The fillings could be anything you like, but here I made Carrot Sunomono, Tuna mayo, and Tamagoyaki egg as fillings for the Onigiri. Super yummy and nutritious! Hope you enjoy this flavor combination!

It is one of the most eaten dishes in Japan today whether at curry restaurants or at home. Curry and Rice is not traditional Japanese food at all, but it is an essential food in modern Japanese cuisine.
