1 1/2 cooked white rice, warm but not hot

1 T Dark Horse Furikake

1 Nori sheet, cut into small rectangles

Mix the Furikake into the rice while warm.

Dip your fingertips into your water and use your palms to make little rice triangles. Be gentle with the rice and do not overwork it or it will begin to crumble. Wrap the triangles up in your nori. Enjoy!

A Japanese pharmacist named Suekichi Yoshimaru created Furikake to be sprinkled on top of rice as a tasty way to increase your calcium intake. Furikake tastes best served on top of rice. Onigiri is a great way to enjoy it. It’s a great on the go snack and a great breakfast.
