Flakes of Deliciousness
24 Feb
Every once in a while I find a foodstuff that just rocks my world. It’s the kind of thing you sneak up in the middle of the night to grab another taste of. I’ve done this with several different condiments in my life. Most recently is the delicious rice topping known as furikake.
What It Is
One Of My Favorites!
Furikake is essentially little bits of dry goodness meant to be sprinkled atop white rice. This sounds much less tasty than it actually is, I assure you. If you spend a lot of time eating rice, this may be just the condiment for you.
It frequently contains seaweed, bits of fish, sesame seeds, and other delicious bits. The downside is that it frequently contains both a massive amount of sugar and salt. With the proper amount of restraint, it adds some wonderful flavor to the rice.
The Varieties
I cannot even explain the amount of varieties this tasty topping comes in. Some of these varieties are as simple as sugar and sesame seeds. Others are extremely complicated including bits of more than one variety of fish. For the super adventurous, there are even varieties that contain wasabi. Have I mentioned how awesome wasabi is?
What You Can Do At Home
An Example of Deliciousness
If you’re really adventurous, you can always make your own at home. One of the blogs I follow regularly, known as Just Hungry, has an entire host of easy-to-complete recipes for furikake. One day, I may even be adventurous enough to try to make one of them.
Until then, I’ve got delicious photos, tasty rice, and a spot of tea.
Do you lot have a favorite condiment?
Ranch, and you know it’s even tasty on Magpies pizza, lol

Ranch is not tasty with anything, I assure you, my misguided little sister.
