Japanese Rice roll (饭团)

I assume that my nieces are tired of eating porridge everyday so i made some Japanese rice rolls this morning for their lunch.

These 2 little mosters were overjoyed and keep rushing me to finish off to make this colour roll.

I used eggs , tuna & ham for the fillings and roll up with dried seaweed sheet. The roll was not wrapped tight enough and the fillings tends to drop out when bited. For yr information, this is the 1st time, i cooked Japanese rice, Perhap need to reduce alittle water to get firmer rice .

So here it goes, Quick & easy :- Japanese Green tea to go along with these rolls.

This also can be a quick snack for kids during school excursion or family picnic where this can be packed ahead.

Lavender (薰衣草) Cookies

Yes, lavender cookies..i dare not try recipes that using lavender as many feedbacks that it taste like soap and a bit of bitterness aftertaste.

As it's said in this article whatscookingamererica, a little goes a long way, so decide to try this recipe by Fresh from the Oven.

The dough was a bit too wet after 30 mins of refrigeration so i addeded 1 tablespoon of flour and

put in the freezer for another 15 mins. Perhap i have added too much butter due to the guessimation of tablespoon.

I 've also cut down the amount of lavender to half and the result is too mild of smell and abit too sweet for me.

However, it's defintely a keeper for festival baking's gift
