Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I added coconut aminos and sesame seed oil to the water used to cook the rice which helped to add flavor. This was the easiest way of making sticky rice I have found so far, and is easy to alter based upon allergies or taste preferences

    Used pre-cooked shrimp, pre-cooked chicken breast, breakfast sausage. Added sesame seeds, scallion, mushroom, and chopped fresh ginger. Didn't have sherry, used sake cooking wine and thin soy sauce.
