Lunch Box 540: Nuclear rice
Today I have some yakitori over rice, steamed broccoli, a fruit salad made with pineapple, grapes, and coconut gel. And none of the food was bizarrely colored, and the rice did not shine with a light of its own. I think that my camera has been having freak-outs because of my kitchen lighting. If you think this is bad, you should have seen it before I massaged it with Photoshop.

This time I grilled the yakitori up properly, with the wire rack from my wok on top of a large skillet. The result was great, but I don't know if I'll cook it that way again, as the sauce I repeatedly brushed onto the chicken contained sugar, which dripped into the skillet and stayed there... you can see where this is going, right? Thankfully, I was able to save the skillet.

I've seen canned coconut gel at my store but haven't gotten up the nerve to try it. What's your take on it?

Thanks - Ann Vallier

I like it. It has a strange texture, like Jell-O but much firmer, so you have to bear down to bite through it. That surprised me at first. Didn't take long to get used to it, though.
