Wheat Berries a la Esiry Preased*

Ok first you take some soft wheat berries (whole, unprocessed wheat kernels), cooked slowly in rice cooker.

Add steamed broccoli, red bell pepper, edamame. Let cool.

Toss in a selection of random seaweeds and tsukemono, including takuan, little onions and sweet red "munchies" (don't know what these are but I always buy them).

Drizzle on rice vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, a few drops of red pepper oil, black pepper, and dried red shiso flakes. And admittedly, a few other things may have been tossed in as well, not sure!

Oh yep, like chopped crimini mushrooms - I see them in the photo. So there ya go.



Little shake of nori flakes on top and grab your stix! And how.
