Gioza
These lightly fried Chinese dumplings are made with a sort of wan-tan skin that is filled with pork, cabbage, onions and garlic. You can buy them fresh or frozen at the grocery store and they are on the menu in many restaurants. At our former church we had gioza parties where 30 or so people gathered to spend the evening making homemade gioza, including making the skins from scratch. It was a lot of work but they were delicious, although the whole church smelled like garlic for days, even weeks afterward.
Curry Rice
Japanese curry rice is relatively mild. It can be rather sweet with a fruit-like flavor especially for kids. When you buy it in the store you can buy it in single serving bags ready to heat and serve. You can also buy it in a block that you mix with hot water, veggies and meat. You can choose from an array of spicy/hot levels from numbers 1-5 (with 5 being the hottest, but still nothing like traditional spicy Indian Curry).
