published Nov 17, 2023 I’m a huge fan of crafting DIY Spice Blends, and this furikake recipe is a shining example of why. This seasoning blend adds intense umami flavor and an irresistible crunch to everything it touches while giving us a window into the rich tradition of Japanese Cuisine. This Japanese rice seasoning is not difficult to make, but it does require a lot of ingredients you might be unfamiliar with. Stay curious, be creative, and have fun inviting new, exciting ingredients into your pantry. You might be exploring flavors you have never tasted before, so enjoy the ride! If you are feeling inspired to dive into Japanese cooking, try making a batch of Dashi Soup Stock along with this spice blend. Whenever I do, I’m left with the simmered kombu and katsuobushi. I let these steeped ingredients dry out again and repurpose them to make my furikake seasoning. No need to let any good ingredients miss their full potential of use and why be wasteful? To repurpose these in another way, I give them a second life by making homemade furikake. Love this recipe? Share it with the world on Pinterest.
