I'm intrigued by the idea of just cooking up some rice, sprinkling some stuff on it, and maybe have some sauteed vegis with it, and having a full, healthy meal in a few minutes under a few bucks.
Seems like Furikake could fit the bill?
And According to google, I have a japanese grocery in town, so I probably could try it.
The wikipedia article is a bit short, so anything Veeky Forums would advice me on? Do you really just put it on rice, as is? Anything else I would need to watch out for?

That's not much of a meal, but yeah furikake is pretty good.
Kind of overpriced for what it is though. Just buy some seaweed, sesame seed, salt, sugar, bonito flakes, and throw it all in a blender.
Henry Peterson
If you buy those sesame seaweed snacks, then you just have to add bonito flakes to it.

>That's not much of a meal, Sure. But sometimes you just have to have some light, minimal time needed things.
Jackson Bennett
Add two or three eggs and that's a meal.
Thomas Hughes

Wow OP, I was literally eating furikake over rice with one of the chefs at the start of tonights shift. He said that's about all he'd been eating lately, furikake and rice, for the last few days. It's addicting stuff. We have pic related, literally the only pic I could find. Has Doreamon, gadget cat from the future, on the bottle. Go figure.
Yes, just put it over rice. Add eel/unagi/sushi/teriyaki sauce and green onions. Sauteed veg are an added plus, pak choi, carrot, cabbage, onion, bean sprouts, that kinda thing.

This is my go-to furikake. The brand comes in a glass container, but I'm sure there are others that do the same. I'd suggest researching the various flavors because there are A LOT.
Yeah, for what it is, it's kind of expensive. But hey, it's quick. I guess.
William Phillips
How much would you guys pay for 500 g bonito flakes? Is £45 worth it? Sounds extremely expensive. Almost all furikake I've found have wheat in them which I can't eat. I found one without wheat but it's also without bonito flakes, so I figure I can buy the flakes separately?
Kayden Bennett
Buy better rice. I eat steamed rice three times a day. Eat it plain, or with each bite of food.

>every asian in all asiatic countries They don't eat much rice in Afghanistan.
William Torres
Uh, yeah they do
Christian Gray
those are mudslime pooinloos not asians
learn your classifications for fuck's sake
Brody King
Are you implying Asians don't suffer from diabetes? Also, most Asians eat rice together with something else which lowers the glycemic index. Plain rice has a higher glycemic index than rice with a curry or rice with X. So yeah.
