Slow but nice and easy that's what I call these traditional cooking instruments. I probably would not make a bunch of Genovese sauce or Hummus from scratch using them however, if you only need to make a little amount of green leaf paste, grind sesame seeds or dried fruit paste for a drop of natural sweeten for your dish, Suribachi & Surikogi must be the perfect tools for you. Yet, you can utilize Suribachi as a mixing bowl directly after you've made paste (what a smart tool). If you plan to get one of these, I would recommend to buy larger size bowl because when you grind nuts and seeds, they will easily pop out of the bowl if it's small size.

I think any vegetables can be used and the key ingredient here is Oatmeal because it absorbs excess water from vegetables well and also add some nice tender texture.<br /><br />Stir fry all shredded or chopped vegetables until they have softened. Mix oatmeal and soy sauce then remove from the heat and let them cool (I would recommend to leave them overnight in the refrigerator to make flavors blend and soak taste well into oatmeal). <br /><br /><a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2266602_wrap-spring-rolls.html">Wrap and roll</a> vegetable filling into spring rolls then fry & roll them in oil until golden brown. Put Sweet Chili Sauce* over the spring rolls or serve it as the dipping sauce.<br /><br />*Sweet Chili Sauce<br />Put vinegar, tabasco, pineapple juice and soy sauce in the sauce pan then stir and cook until boiling.
