oni-sasa

On that show that features local cuisines they recently featured something from Ishigaki island in Okinawa...oni-sasa.

It is the combination of an onigiri and sasami fry (fried chicken breast).

What they do is go to an okazuya and take a plastic bag.

Place the fried chicken breast into the bag.

Place the onigiri of their choice on top.

Drizzle some sauce and then close up the bag.

Then just before eating, they smash and mold the rice and chicken together, creating what they call oni-sasa.

Satoshi and I decided we wanted to try this so we picked up some fried chicken breast.

I cooked some rice and made musubi with some furikake.

And then we put them into a plastic bag, drizzled some tonkatsu sauce and molded them...

This is really good picnic food!

Your hands don't get dirty because "everything is in the bag", so to speak.

I'm making this again the next time we go picnic-ing.
