My niece and her family are living in Okinawa for a few years. When I went over to my sister's (her mom) house I noticed she had all sorts of unusual food packets in her pantry. It seems her daughter has been delighting her with some of the foods that are a staple there.
This one I thought was so funny - becuase it seemd like a take on a Mexican dish.
"Taco Rice"
This is what comes inside the package...we "face-timed" her to get the directions....
since they were all in Japanese.
You heat the two larger pouches in boiling water for about 5 mins.
Then add the contents of the packets to cooked rice and mix in the hot sauce.
This is how it looks when it is done boiling.
Add it to the pre-cooked rice and...Voila...authentic Taco Rice from Okinawa!
It was actully very good!
Here are some of the other packets she sent!
I love the packaging!

ReplyDeleteSeems like everyone has their own spin on tacos. This post cracked me up. I loved that you two cooked up some rice and tried it out.
ReplyDeleteWe were in China last spring, and I had so much fun looking through the markets at the packaging!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post and the pictures. One of my favorite activities on vacation is to visit the grocery store and see what people eat around the world.
ReplyDeleteThat's different and sounds like fun trying something new!
