Rice Cake

A rice cake may be any kind of food item made from rice that has been shaped, condensed, or otherwise combined into a single object. A wide variety of rice cakes exist in many different cultures in which rice is eaten. Common variations include cakes made with rice flour, those made from ground rice, and those made from whole grains of rice compressed together or combined with some other binding substance.

Rice Flour

Rice flour (also rice powder) is a form of flour made from finely milled rice. It is distinct from rice starch, which is usually produced by steeping rice in lye. Rice flour is a common substitute for wheat flour. It is also used as a thickening agent in recipes that are refrigerated or frozen since it inhibits liquid separation.
Rice flour may be made from either white rice, brown rice or glutinous rice. To make the flour, the husk of rice or paddy is removed and raw rice is obtained, which is then ground to flour.

Manousheh

Manakish (Levantine Arabic: مناقيش, romanized: manāʾīš), singular man'ousheh (منقوشة, manʾūše) is a popular Levantine pastry, consisting of dough topped with za'atar (مناقيش بالزعتر, manāʾīš biz-zaʿtar), cheese (مناقيش باجبنة, manāʾīš bil-jibne), or ground meat. It can be sliced or folded, and it can be served either for breakfast or lunch.

Panuozzo

Panuozzo (Italian: [paˈnwɔttso], Neapolitan: [paˈnwottsə]; Italian pl.: panuozzi, Neapolitan pl.: panuozze) is an Italian sandwich of pizza bread stuffed with fillings of meat and vegetables. It was invented in 1983 by the pizzaiolo ('pizza maker') Giuseppe Mascolo, from the comune (municipality) of Gragnano, near Naples, Italy, and was first adopted in the region of the Monti Lattari (Pimonte, Agerola, and Sant'Antonio Abate). Various fillings can be used, such as mozzarella or other dairy products, tomatoes, several vegetables (e.g., aubergine and courgette), Italian sausages and sliced meats, friggitelli, and so on.
Panuozzo is officially recognised as a prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale (PAT).

Dabai

Canarium odontophyllum, also referred to as the Borneo olive, is a fruit-bearing tree of the genus Canarium in the family Burseraceae. Native to Borneo, where it is locally known as dabai in Sarawak and kembayau in Sabah and Brunei.

Wild Rocket

Diplotaxis tenuifolia is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family known by the common name perennial wall-rocket. It is native to Europe and western Asia, where it grows on disturbed ground and roadsides, and it can now be found throughout much of the temperate world where it has naturalized. In recent years it has increasingly been cultivated to produce salad leaves, which are marketed as wild rocket in Britain or arugula in the U.S. It is easily confused with garden rocket, which has similar uses.

Garden Rocket

Eruca sativa (also known as arugula, rocket, or eruca,) is an edible annual plant in the family Brassicaceae. Other common names include salad rocket, garden rocket, colewort, roquette, ruchetta, rucola, rucoli, and rugula.
Eruca sativa is native to the Mediterranean and Asia. Its wide availability and sharp flavor make it widely popular as a leaf vegetable, including in salads.

Lettuce

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is an annual plant of the family Asteraceae mostly grown as a leaf vegetable. The leaves are most often used raw in green salads, although lettuce is also seen in other kinds of food, such as sandwiches, wraps and soups; it can also be grilled. Its stem and seeds are sometimes used; celtuce (asparagus lettuce) is one variety grown for its stems, which are eaten either raw or cooked. In addition to its main use as a leafy green, it has also gathered religious and medicinal significance over centuries of human consumption. Europe and North America originally dominated the market for lettuce, but by the late 20th century the consumption of lettuce had spread throughout the world. In 2023, world production of lettuce (and chicory) was 28 million tonnes, led by China with 53% of the total.
