Thanksgiving Treat

Occasion: Thanksgiving day sweet treat! Too bad I had food poisoning/stomach flu...luckily I still got to try it!

Rice flour based sweet treat

I have no idea what this is called, but from the taste of it I know it's rice flour based, it was deep fried and it has a ginger caramelized based coating.  I was suffering from food poisoning and I was barely able to eat anything. Everything that I ate would come right back out, but to my surprise. My stomach was able to hold this down.  Since I didn't get to eat it right when it was fresh...what I did to heat it up as if it was fresh was by sticking it in the microwave with a wet paper napkin over it. That way, the microwave will take the moisture from the wet paper napkin instead of from the pastry itself (which would lead to a hard, dry crunchy pastry).  I thought it was pretty good! It wasn't too sweet and the rice flour base was kind of chewy. It reminded me of sesame buns from dim sum (the mochi ish part).  This is definitely something new, but still enjoyable.
