Description
Furikake is a savory Japanese seasoning blend made with dried seaweed, sesame seeds, and other flavorful ingredients sprinkled over rice to add texture and umami.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 g katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
- 2 tbsp aonori
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp gochugaru
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/3 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 sheet nori, cut into short, thin strips
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, combine the katsuobushi, aonori, soy sauce, gochugaru, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and sesame oil.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes dry and flaky. This should take a few minutes – be careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the toasted sesame seeds and continue roasting for another 2 – 3 minutes, allowing everything to become fragrant and fully dried out.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. For extra color, you can optionally add in another tbsp of aonori at this point.
- Add in the thin nori strips and transfer to an airtight container. Store for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Sprinkle over warm rice, noodles, eggs, avocado toast, or anything that needs a little savory crunch.
