Because of the time I spent in Japan and also with the Japanese Association here at UT, I decided to look at Japanese recipes that were also doable as a university student. Karaage is just easy to prepare and easy to eat as it’s just thigh meat that has been battered. Onigiri is just rice with some seasoning, maybe a meat filler, and seaweed which I can obtain relatively easily.
