Keep this in mind whenever a meal needs something fresh alongside it. Double the recipe for a crowd; the method scales easily.

Method

  1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook it with a little more water than rice (about 1.1 to 1) until tender and fluffy. Keep it warm.

  2. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant and crumble the nori into small flakes.

  3. Fold the furikake, sesame and nori through the warm rice, reserving some for the top, and serve.

Chef's note

Salt and squeeze cucumbers to keep salads from turning watery.
