Ingredients
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
- Soak Dried Wakame Seaweed, chopped 5g in plenty of water to rehydrate. (Pro Tip: It expands significantly, so use a large bowl or container.)
- Thoroughly drain the rehydrated wakame and squeeze out any excess moisture with paper towels.
- On a cutting board, roughly chop the drained wakame into pieces that are easy to mix into rice.
- Heat Sesame Oil 1 tbsp in a frying pan over low heat, add Grated Garlic 1 clove, and stir-fry until fragrant.
- 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.)
- 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.
- Place Warm Cooked Rice 400g in a bowl and sprinkle with Salt approx. 1/4 tsp.
- Add the stir-fried wakame and Toasted White Sesame Seeds 1 tbsp, then mix well using a cutting motion with your spatula or spoon.
- Taste and adjust the saltiness and amount of sesame seeds. Add more salt or soy sauce if needed.
- 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.)
