Ingredients
- 2 sheets nori seaweed
- 3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon bonito flakes (optional)
- 2 teaspoons dried shiso leaf (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the nori seaweed sheets by passing them quickly over an open flame of your gas stove or toasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat until they become crisp and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes per side. Be careful not to burn them. Let them cool.
- Once cooled, crumble the nori seaweed sheets into small pieces. You can use scissors or tear them by hand.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over a medium heat for about 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumbled nori seaweed with the toasted sesame seeds, (and bonito flakes and shiso, if using).
- Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Transfer to an airtight container or a small jar for storage.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It will keep for several weeks.
- Sprinkle the furikake over rice, noodles, salads, vegetables, or any other dish you'd like to add flavor to.
