Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the dried cut wakame into a bowl and cut it with scissors smaller, as they are slightly too big.
  2. Heat up a skillet with the dried wakame and dry roast the seaweed until the seaweed emits its lovely aromas. Keep on stirring when dry roasting!
  3. Take from the heat and pour in sesame oil. Mix it all when in.
  4. Continue to stir in the sake (or vodka), soy sauce and sugar. Mix it all well into the wakame.
  5. Take your pan back to the heat and keep over a medium-slow heat setting, stirring continuously until you can smell the aroma unfolding.
  6. Now add in the sesame seeds and mix your wakame furikake well with the same heat setting for a minute or two.
  7. When done, take from the heat and leave to cool first before placing the seasoning into a jar or small container.
  8. Use the furikake seasoning as a topping over your cooked rice directly, or store in the fridge for further use.
