Mix salmon with chopped bread, dressing, onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt. Make patties – about ¼ cup each. These didn’t stick together very well on our first go-round. Perhaps add some egg-substitute, or potato starch & water to make them clumpier?
Put the patties in the freezer for 15 minutes (to dry off).
Mix egg substitutes with 1 1/2 tsp canola oil and water. dredge patties in flour, and then egg goop shaking off the excess each time. Then coat in bread crumbs.
Heat oil medium-high until hot but not yet smoking. Cook patties on both sides until medium golden brown. Drain.

Sauté the onion in the olive oil until soft, then add minced garlic.
Add everything except the tomatoes and roasted garlic.
Squish the tomatoes and add them (including the liquid!). Stir and bring to a boil. Simmer 20 minutes.
Add the roasted garlic, mix. Simmer for 45 minutes.

Mix water and food coloring. Mix sugar into water and food coloring. Add mijin-ko and mix until the dough holds finger marks.
Dust your molds with katakuri-ko. Fill molds tightly, and tap out onto a plate.
These are dry sugar candies – and go well with the tea ceremony. Shapes of these candies are seasonally linked and generally very specific. Since I only have a few molds, those are what I plan to make.
If you do not have rakugan higashi molds, you can buy candy or chocolate molds at many craft supply stores. They’ll hold you over until you can make a friend in Japan to send you some molds.

Chop, toss, and serve.
Sauté bread with oil until browned, mix up the vinaigrette. Mix everything together. Let sit 30 minutes before serving.
Heat the oat milk until it bubbles and remove from heat. Add the palm oil, stir until melted. Add the yeast when it is about the same temperature as tap-hot water. Try not to let the yeast get coated in palm oil.
Add ⅓ cup sugar, fake eggs and 2 cups flour. Add the rest of the flour a little at a time, mixing thoroughly. Knead until smooth, about 8 minutes. Put dough in an oiled, warm bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in size (1 hour).
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Form into flat ovals on a lined cookie sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled again (40 minutes).
Topping: mix ½ cup sugar, ⅔ cup flour, and palm oil until you get crumbs. Mix coloring with the fake egg, then add to the crumbs. Roll into 16 ovals about the same size as the top of the buns. Place a topping oval on each bun, and press very lightly into place. Do not press hard enough to collapse your buns!
Cut patterns into the oval topping – spiral shapes, criss-crosses, etc.
Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until sugar topping is almost browned.
Broil the salmon until justflaking.
Cook the rice. Add rice vinegar until the flavor of the rice is right–like sushi rice. This should be ¼ to ½ cups of rice wine vinegar.
Make tightly-squished balls of rice with bits of salmon hidden in the middle. Using an onigiri mold makes this easy.
You can put other things in the middles too!

For 5-10 minutes, boil 1 clove of garlic, bay leaves, and lamb in 2 cups of water. Pour off the water.
For 1 minute, activate the spices by frying the cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves in the oil.
Add the onions. When the onions are lightly browned, add the ginger, garlic and green chilies.
For 5 minutes, saute all that with the boiled meat.
For 5 minutes, cook with half the garam masala mix and the rest of the spices (turmeric, red chili powder, cumin, coriander).
Add the tomatoes and salt and cook until a couple minutes after the liquid is gone.
Add 2 cups of water and cook until the meat is tender.
For 5 minutes, fry the whole thing up with the remaining garam masala mix. Serve with the cilantro.
