Created and presented by Myra Kornfeld The contrast of chewy, sticky rice and buttery-smooth salmon make for delightful eating. Each of these two recipes features harmonious combinations … either will make a warming breakfast or a luscious portable lunch. Mochi (moh-chee) is a traditional Japanese energy snack, made by pounding steamed rice and then allowing it to harden or “cure”. Mochi comes in sheets you cut to size, and it re-softens and forms a hollow pocket when baked. You'll find mochi in many natural food markets and Japanese or Asian specialty stores. These recipes call for regular, white rice mochi; you could use whole-grain brown rice mochi instead, for added nutrition and a nutty flavor. Serves 2 Lox and Avocado Recipe 2 mochi squares (2x2-inch each) 2 ounces wild Alaskan sockeye nova lox 1/4 avocado, sliced 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
