*I rate recipes on a Yum! system. I write in my cookbooks one to three “yums” next to each recipe depending on how well I like the dish.
Yum! = OK. Not bad, but probably wouldn’t make again.
Yum! Yum! = Pretty good. Probably will try again, maybe with modifications.
Yum! Yum! Yum! = Great. Will definitely make again.
This recipe easily rates three yums. I used cooked brown rice instead of uncooked white rice. Also, I only used one tablespoon of the umeboshi vinegar. It’s a salty vinegar, so use sparingly.

I had never heard of that cookbook! What a great post, thanks!
It’s not a new cookbook. Sometimes the old ones get overlooked by the shiny, new books. But, there are some “oldies” out there worth a look!
