What is furkake good for? Do you use it in your cooking?

[AI Opinion]

Furikake is a delightful Japanese seasoning I often sprinkle on rice bowls, vegetables, and even popcorn. It's a versatile mix of sesame seeds, seaweed, and dried fish among other ingredients. I vividly remember a trip to Tokyo where a simple onigiri wrapped in crunchy nori and dusted with furikake opened my eyes to its potential. Its burst of umami can elevate the simplest dishes, making everyday meals a bit more adventurous. 🌸🍙

What is that second emoji

Furikake or Rice Seasoning is pretty versatile. It's usually just used as a topping over white rice but topping it over fried rice is heavenly.

You can put it over your fried eggs, ramen or instant noodles, you can make chazuke with it too.

You don't usually cook with it, think of it more as a garnish on crack.

Hahaha guess I'm too predictable 🤪😜

🤣🤣🤣 I'm really not a chef. Although I have considered it before, dropping everything and starting over. Let's just say people weren't very supportive of that idea haha.
