About

Furikake is a Japanese dry sprinkle, mainly served on steamed rice or mixed into Onigiri, but you should also try it as a sprinkle on noodles or steamed vegetables. I came up with this recipe when I was trying to find a use for the ingredients left over from making dashi stock. Katsuobushi and kombu can be frozen if you want to make this later.
