Ingredients:

• 1 cup short grain rice
• 1 cup plus 2 tbsp (280 ml) water

For the Furikake:

• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tsp toasted black sesame seeds
• 2 tsp nori, ground in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle

Method:

Wash the rice: in a bowl, add rice and water and rinse by swiping the rice with your hands. Drain and discard water, add fresh water, and repeat 3 times.

Add rice to a pot and add 1 cup plus 2 tbsp water. Cover with a lid, turn on the heat to medium high, and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes.

Turn the heat down to low and simmer the rice for 15-17 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir together the furikake ingredients.

Turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve sprinkled with furikake.
