Furikake--ふりかけ





Hi guys,

What are those mysterious bits of green, pink, and white? Well, they're something called furikake. What is Furikake? Furikake is a Japanese condiment used to sprinkle on top of white rice. There are different types of this condiment. The bottle pictured below contains bits of dried seaweed and super dry bits of plum. Sounds weird, doesn't it? Other types include dried bits of salmon, egg, vegetables, sesame, wasabi etc. Trust me, it actually makes the rice taste a lot better despite its questionable ingredients. They come in jars, shakers, and single-use packets. I remember how I loved furikake so much that my mother told me that I would turn into a mummy if I continued pouring too much on my rice. I actually believed her.... Nowadays, I use furikake occassionally.
