Rice With Onsen Tamago And Furikake


I won't claim this to be a recipe but rather an idea for a light lunch or a quick snack. If you love onsen tamago (hot spring egg) you are going to adore this. Furikake is a type of Japanese condiment for rice. It is usually consists of sesame seeds, nori, bonito, shiso and so on and it is perfect to spice up a bowl of plain rice. I will be posting a few furikake recipes in my next "Japanese week", meanwhile you are able to find different types of furikake in both Japanese and Korean grocers. 
P.S This is a scheduled post. I will answer and reply all comments ASAP.

  6. Furikake is definitely a versatile quick perk up for white rice. And Onsen Tamago - it takes some skill and technique to get it right, doesn't it? ...easy as it seems.

  11. I have three jars of different furikake in my cupboards now. My daughter loves it and will often grab a bowl of rice and furikake for a snack! I've been meaning to make my own(I'll just fill the jars up, they come with a nice shaker) Can't wait for Japanese week!

  13. This is one of my typical quick meal with a little soy sauce on the egg. Sometimes I would have it with a miso soup or natto with it too.
