A recipe for incredibly delicious wakame rice that's easy to make by simply mixing it into warm rice. The fragrant, savory flavor of stir-fried wakame perfectly coats the rice, whetting your appetite. It's also perfect for onigiri (rice balls) and can be enjoyed by everyone from kids to adults.

Ingredients

Scale:

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Dried Wakame Seaweed, chopped 5g
  • Grated Garlic 1 clove
  • Warm Cooked Rice 400g
  • Toasted White Sesame Seeds 1 tbsp

Seasonings

  • Sesame Oil 1 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 2 tsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tsp
  • Salt approx. 1/4 tsp

Steps

  1. Soak Dried Wakame Seaweed, chopped 5g in plenty of water to rehydrate. (Pro Tip: It expands significantly, so use a large bowl or container.)
  2. Thoroughly drain the rehydrated wakame and squeeze out any excess moisture with paper towels.
  3. On a cutting board, roughly chop the drained wakame into pieces that are easy to mix into rice.
  4. Heat Sesame Oil 1 tbsp in a frying pan over low heat, add Grated Garlic 1 clove, and stir-fry until fragrant.
  5. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the chopped wakame and continue to stir-fry over low heat. (Pro Tip: High heat can cause the wakame to splatter, so cook on low. Ensure the wakame is well-drained.)
  6. When the wakame is stir-fried, the raw garlic smell has disappeared, and it smells good, add [A] Soy Sauce 2 tsp and [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 2 tsp to lightly season and combine.
  7. Place Warm Cooked Rice 400g in a bowl and sprinkle with Salt approx. 1/4 tsp.
  8. Add the stir-fried wakame and Toasted White Sesame Seeds 1 tbsp, then mix well using a cutting motion with your spatula or spoon.
  9. Taste and adjust the saltiness and amount of sesame seeds. Add more salt or soy sauce if needed.
  10. Serve in a bowl. It's ready! (Pro Tip: You can also add ingredients like shirasu (whitebait), dried small fish, or sakura shrimp if desired. It's also great for making onigiri.)
