brown rice museli-ish breakfast





I've been eating japanese-style breakfasts most mornings since being in London, tofu, wakame, miso et al.
But this morning was in need of sweetness!

This is something i forgot about until i saw the honey jar on the kitchen table. YEAH!

ingredients
- brown rice - best if its freshly cooked, but i usually have a container in the fridge ready to eat
- fat dried raisins
- dollop of tahini (scott would HATE this....)
- vanilla essence
- freshly minced ginger - or powdered ginger is good too
- little bit of cinamon
- toasted sesame seeds
- honey to taste
- soy milk

process
++ steam up the rice in a double steamer (if you are using from a pre-cooked batch -otherwise cook your rice absorption style), add the raisins in there too - they swell up to perfection
++ while that's cooking, get a bowl, add in the tahini, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, and toasted sesame seeds - mix it all up into a creamy consistency. I find adding a bit of water to moisten is a good trick.
++ add in the hot rice and raisins, and also the sesame seeds, and mix it all together
++ add in soy milk as you would museli

extras
+++ add chopped fruit on top, i had kiwi fruit this morning (was craving greeness...which has been hard to get in a wintery city dominated by root vegetables....) but i think strawberries or any berries are better with this
+++ i always find i need to add extra honey
+++oh and i had some awesome organic soft goats cheese in the fridge which was delicious on top too!
