  1. Hi there, that looks very interesting. The steamed rice strings maybe could be used instead of regular rice for a curry, etc.? It's almost the same thing as making homemade pasta. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
