“Hashū is a meat stuffing with rice. It can be served as is, or can be added to other dishes as meatballs. Soaked rice is mixed with meat and spices. It can also be stuffed into almost any vegetable, which is called mehshi (pronounced meche-she). Sounds scrumptious but then I am a sucker for stuffed vegetables, even if it is a very old-fashioned dish!”
