Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons white or light miso paste* (see notes)
  • tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon Furikake
  • 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce or Tamari* (see notes)
  • teaspoons chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger pulp
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 4 cups cooked rice (ideally Jasmine)
  • approx. 3 tablespoons neutral oil (grapeseed or vegetable)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro, washed and dried

Instructions

  • Make the sauce. In a large bowl (big enough to hold all of the rice), whisk the miso paste with the mirin, soy sauce, chili paste, Furikake, garlic, ginger and sugar.
  • Mix and Sauté. Add the cooked rice to the bowl and mix until it's evenly coated with the miso mixture. - Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with the oil. Once it's hot, add the rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it's very aromatic and some of the rice in golden.
  • Mix in the cilantro and serve!
