Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your ingredients.
- 3. Cook the rice according to package directions.
- 4. While the rice is still warm, shape it into squares.
- 5. Chef's Note: I use a square mold to achieve the nice squares. In Japan the most popular shape was a pyramid.

- 7. Add a bit of peanut oil to a skillet over medium-high heat.
- 8. Add the rice squares.
- 9. Lightly brown them on all six sides, about 90 seconds per side.
- 10. Remove from the oil and brush with your favorite sauce.
- 11. Sauce: You can use just about anything that you wish for the sauce. • Japanese soy sauce • Oyster sauce • Tamari sauce • Japanese fish sauce • A mixture of tamari and honey (my favorite) • Various jams, like apricot or apple
- 12. After brushing with the sauce, return them to the skillet, for a second browning, about 30 seconds per side.
- 13. Chef's Tip: It's this second browning, that really infuses the flavor into the rice.
- 14. ADDITIONAL VARIATION
- 15. Instead of just rice, why not put a surprise in the center, like a piece of sesame chicken, or crispy beef...
- 16. PLATE/PRESENT

Steps:
- Tightly pack the sushi rice into a square 8x8-inch cake pan lined with plastic wrap. Chill for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator or 30 minutes in the freezer.
- Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cut the rice into thick, rectangular shapes, about 2 to 3 inches in length and 1 inch in width. Carefully move the pieces to the hot oil and fry until they reach a deep golden brown color, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
- Combine diced tuna with mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed.
- To assemble, place fried sushi rice on a serving platter. Top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the spicy tuna mixture. Layer a few slices of avocado on top of each piece. Garnish with a thin drizzle of Sriracha, a jalapeño slice, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS
Gooey marshmallows and crispy rice cereal come together in this recipe for the all-original favorite. We added a splash of vanilla extract and pinch of salt to give these sweet treats a palatable punch. Cut into squares, store between a few pieces of wax paper (to prevent any sticking) and enjoy for up to three days.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
- Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
RICE KRISPY TREATS WITH ALL THE VARIATIONS
I love making these for parties. The unusual ones are usually first to go. You can mold them into any shape you lie and carve them, but I like them in little squares. Hope you try the variations and invent a few combinations of your own! Cooking time is drying time.

Steps:
- Measure out the Rice Krispies. Melt the butter and marshmallows very slowly. Pour over cereal and stir with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon (or put gloves on and toss by hand). Press into a 9x13 buttered pan and let cool. Cut into squares.
- Variations:
- SQUARES: Use half Rice Krispies and half Cocoa Pepples, Fruity Pebbles, Froot Loops, or any other cereal combo you like.
- TOPPINGS: Mix a 12 ounce bag of choclolate chips with two tablespoons of butter, melt and spread over treats before you cut them. Cool and cut. Also use white chocolate and peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips to replace the chocolate chips. Make them crazy and have some fun!
- I made 150 of these last year for an adult party and all of them were eaten. There were only 50 people there. After they dry, cut them and wrap in parchment, twisting the ends closed. I use Handy Wax which is the perfect size for them. You can add ribbons to the ends but they look so cute wrapped in the handy wax. I piled them up into a huge basket and everyone grabbed a few.

Tips:
- Use day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice will be too soft and mushy.
- Don't be afraid to press the rice firmly into the pan. This will help it hold together better.
- If you don't have a non-stick pan, grease it lightly with oil before cooking the rice.
- Cook the rice over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the rice will burn before it has a chance to crisp up.
- Flip the rice halfway through cooking to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the rice. If you do, the rice will not cook evenly.
- Serve the rice squares with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and chili sauce.
