Matcha Furikake (Vegan)
Crispy, crunchy, and loaded with umami, furikake is a delicious condiment that's sprinkled on rice. In this version, I've used a combination of plant-based ingredients to create a vegan-friendly Furikake that's just as flavorful as the original.

Ingredients
- 3 grams dried shiitake mushroom (~1 small mushroom)
- 50 grams rolled oats (~½ cup)
- 20 grams sesame seeds ~3 tablespoons, toasted
- 11 grams brown sugar (~1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 grams konbu cha (~1 teaspoon)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons aonori
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300° F (150° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break the dried shiitake mushroom into small pieces and add them to a food processor. Run the processor until the shiitake is roughly ground up.
- Add the rolled oats and grind the mixture until you have a coarse meal. If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the oatmeal with your fingers and use a Microplane to grate the shiitake into a powder.
- Transfer the ground oats into a bowl and add the sesame seeds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, konbu cha, and vegetable oil until the ingredients are evenly dissolved.
- Pour the seasoning over the oats and stir together until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Dump this mixture onto your parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it out into a thin, even layer. Bake the Furikake for 15 minutes, stirring it once midway through.
- Once the Furikake is dry and crisp, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Use a rolling pin to break up any large clusters.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and then mix it with the aonori and matcha.
- Transfer the Furikake to a bowl and mix in the aonori and matcha. Store your vegan Furikake in a sealed container.
