Randy Bakes a Rice Bun From Scratch (Sort Of)
While everyone else was reaching for a store-bought bun, Randy was in the oven. He posted a tray of a dozen pale, pillow-shaped blobs baking away — homemade rice flour buns, made with yeast, oil, and ambition. The first test run yielded something denser than hoped and prone to falling apart, but by late that same evening he had three of them on a plate, filled with sausages and wholegrain mustard, looking actually pretty good.
Tilor immediately questioned whether rice + sausage technically constitutes a musubi. Randy pushed back hard, then Googled it, then kind of admitted the line was blurry. The group verdict was that it's both a hot dog and a musubi simultaneously, which is either a philosophical breakthrough or a loophole. Randy is already planning version two with tapioca starch as a binder. The invitation for a glizzy party at his place — with homemade buns and Smash Bros — is now officially on the table.
