I usually bread and pan fry these in oil. These were very tasty cooked on the Mini. Basted during the cook. A nice change of pace.  Nori flakes are on the Jasmine white rice. Dipping sauces are...top to bottom, Nuoc mam, Soy/Sricacha and Wasabi/Ketchup.

    Nuoc mam is a very well known Vietnamese dipping sauce. I dip all kinds of meat and vegetables in it. Google it for a variety of great recipes. Sriracha is an Asian pepper sauce. Simply add it to soy sauce to taste. Often times I also add a squeeze of lime juice. Wasabi is a well known sauce eaten with Sushi. Add to ketchup (to taste) to make zippy sauce.
