Furikake


Have you heard of furikake?
Furikake is a dry Japanese topping that is sprinkled on top of rice.
It usually consists of a mixture of dried fish, sesame seeds, seaweeds, salt, and artificial coloring. Sometimes we put it on our rice in our lunch boxes.
Today, I made homemade furikake that didn't require any coloring or artificial flavors.


Furikake
recipe

Ingredients


2/3 cup(25g) dry wakame(seaweed)
2 tbs white sesame seeds
1/2~2/3 tbs salt




Directions

1. Put the three ingredients in a mixer or earthenware mortar and mix well until wakame becomes powder. Taste it and if you need more salt, just add more.
(a little bit salty is good because we eat it on or mixed in plain white rice)


This is a basic kind of furikake. There are many different flavors.
You can also add curry spice, pepper, herbs or anything else you want to try.

Put the furikake in the rice and mix well!

Tips!


When you make rice balls don't push too hard.
Press lightly when you make them.
UMEBOSHI (Pickled plum) are good in the rice balls, too.




Wakame has good nutritional qualities and is good for people who are dieting.

Dry wakame 100g → 115k calories
Minerals, Calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C

Wakame has a lot of dietary fiber, so when you eat wakame it will absorbs water.
You can get full on less food and it helps with digestion.
Wakame's dietary fiber(Alginic acid) reduces cholesterol in the blood.
