Ume-Shiso Furikake
Furikake is a Japanese seasoning meant to be sprinkled on rice, veggies, and fish. This vegan version combines sweet shiso and umeboshi with the robust nutty and savory flavors of sesame seeds, miso, and seaweed.
"At its simplest, the Japanese seasoning furikake contains seaweed and sesame seeds. Oaktown's version also includes savory miso, herbaceous shiso leaf, and tart ume plum. One of my favorite light and comforting meals consists of miso soup, cucumber salad, and sushi rice topped with a little butter, soy sauce, and furikake, plus a mouth-puckering umeboshi (salt-preserved ume plum) for good measure. Add a soft-boiled egg for protein!" - Clare's Staff Picks, 2020
