Rika's TOKYO CUISINE: Rice Balls with Seafood Tempura

Overview

This week, we'll be making the famous Japanese dish tempura, but with a twist! For our main dish, we'll be making rice balls — a Japanese favorite — with shrimp and scallop tempura inside. We'll also be making a light beef shank soup to help warm the body on these cold winter days, as well as a delicious sauté made with vitamin-rich spinach, fresh cream, sesame oil, and soy sauce, for a surprisingly delicious combination of flavors.
