These crackers are by far the best flourless crackers I have ever made. They are super crunchy, easy to make and so delicious. To make them you will only need a mix of seeds, salt and water. And if you want, you can spice them up adding your favorite spices.

These crackers are great for appetizers, meals and snacks, and are perfect with any sauce; try them with baba ganoush, beetroot sauce, and even cashew spread or almond butter. These crackers are also an easy snack to take to work, on a field trip, to the beach or wherever you want.

Although it seems impossible, tomorrow will be the new year’s eve, so today’s recipe is the last recipe of 2018.

If you remember, this year I started with my Ramen low carb recipe and with my purpose of publishing a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month, so it seemed nice to close the year with the latest Japanese recipe: tuna tataki with black sesame. It is a simple recipe, easy to prepare and perfect for holidays, to impress your guests.

This year has been great for me, I have had the opportunity to grow and learn a lot, I have seen far away places, I have experimented with new ingredients and techniques, and above all, thanks to all of you, I have felt that I am contributing something positive with my work in the kitchen. I want to thank all the people who follow me, who read my recipes, who write to me and ask me, all your support makes me keep creating recipes, contents, and tools so that healthy eating is easier and more fun.

Thank you all, with all your heart and happy 2019!

Following my promise to publish a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month, today I have decided to present my recipe for brown rice onigiri.

Onigiri is one of the best-known Japanese dishes in the world; they are triangularly shaped rice balls that can be filled with many different things, often wrapped in nori seaweed. My version of the onigiri is with brown rice instead of white.

The filling of the onigiri can vary a lot, from the most classic with salmon or umeboshi (salty Japanese plums) to the newest with tuna and mayonnaise, so let’s go to use our fantasy with fillings 😉

Phase 1 · Phase 4 Serves: 2 Prep Time: Cooking Time:

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup of whole-grain Japanese rice (uruchimai) *

  • 1 pinch of sea salt or pink
  • 2 - 4 sheets of nori seaweed (F4)
  • Stuffed tuna and ginger (F1):
  • 1 can of tuna (packed in water)

  2. When the rice water starts to boil, lower the heat and let it boil covered, for about 40 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling you have chosen for your onigiri.
  4. For stuffing tuna and ginger (F1): Drain the tuna entirely and put it in a bowl; Grate the fresh ginger over the tuna and spread the tamari sauce little by little, it should not remain liquid in the filling.
  5. For the stuffing of salmon and spring onion (F4): cut the salmon into cubes and finely chop the chives; in a small pan, put the sesame oil and sauté the onion and salmon a few minutes; add salt and add the sesame seeds (optional); let it cool.
  6. When the rice has absorbed all the water and is perfectly cooked, let it cool.
  7. With slightly wet hands, take a handful of rice and shape it into a ball, with one finger, make a hole in the center and place part of the chosen filling, cover the hole with a little more filling and give the onigiris the typical Triangular shape.
  8. [Optional] With hands completely dry, cut a strip of nori seaweed of the appropriate dimension to wrap the onigiri. Put the onigiri in the center of the strip and wrap it. Lightly wet the ends of the alga so that it sticks better.
  9. You get about 4 large onigiri or 6 smaller ones.

This recipe is suitable for Phase1 (tuna filling) and Phase 4 – FMD P1 and P4. With these quantities, you get 2 servings of grains for Phase 1 with a little protein for <20 pounds.

Notes

Long-grain rice, such as basmati and wild rice, do not work for this recipe. - WARNING FOR CELIAC: always check that the products that you use are certified without gluten, for who has doubts in this respect can be informed in the following link: https://bit.ly/GlutenFreeSymbol

We are already in September, so it is time for a new Japanese recipe. Today’s recipe is a straightforward recipe and easy to prepare, one of the most iconic dishes of Japanese cuisine: the sushi chirashi.

The chirashi is also called “scattered sushi,” in a few words it is sushi in a bowl; the base is rice and usually carries vegetables, seaweed, and fish. This is without doubt one of my favorite recipes, the version I propose is with wild rice and fresh salmon, but I recommend you try it with tuna or prawns. Along with the salmon I used radishes, cucumbers, and seaweed which are the most common vegetables in this type of preparation but added my personal touch with a handful of radish sprouts. You can prepare this recipe also with other sprouts or a little rocket.

Accompany it with a little sunomono for a perfect Japanese dinner.

I hope you like it 🙂
