When I first found this recipe- I hoped it would be good...I was somewhat unsure about the flavor it might have.

I noticed that every ingredient are things that I always have on hand, but I am not used to using seasoned rice vinegar and coriander.

I have really been trying to make new recipes- so I went for it...

AND I LOVED IT!  I knew it must be good when both my kids ate some (even my picky eater!)

The first bowl I made was gone very quickly.  I ended up making another one later that same day.

It taste just as good (if not better) the next day.

Now- this recipe is one of my favorite snacks- so I just have to share!
