What do you prepare as a carbohydrate for your BBQ meal?

These grilled rice sticks can be prepared in advance, and can be cooked at same time as the meats. Glazed with sweet miso sauce! The roasting sweet-savory smell makes you so hungry.

However, if you don’t have any miso, I’m sure any sauce works with rice very well, such as BBQ sauce, salt & garlic, etc.

Ingredients

  • 500g cooked Japanese short grain rice
  • 2 tbsp potato starch
  • < Miso sauce >
  • 1 tbsp miso
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 6-8 bamboo sticks

Instructions

  1. Soak the bamboo sticks in water use to prevent burning.
  2. Warm up the rice in a microwave or steamer if it's cold. Wet your hands, grab a handful rice, then make a rectanglular shape. Push the rice onto the bamboo stick. Gently press the both side of the rice, and make the surface flat.
  3. Mix all ingredients for the sauce (miso, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sesame oil), and coat the rice with this sauce.
  4. Grill both sides of the rice sticks on the BBQ until they are slightly burned. If the bamboo stick burns, hold it with aluminum.
