Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breast fillets cut into ¼-inch slices

  • Sprinkle the rest of the furikake over the chicken before serving.

Notes

What is furikake?

Furikake and katsuobushi
Furikake and katsuobushi bought at Takashimaya in Osaka
Furikake refers to an array of dry mixed seasonings that are traditionally sprinkled over rice. The mix can contain fish, seaweeds, shisho (perilla leaves), powdered egg granules, sesame seeds, katsuobushi, salmon…
Plain rice is beautifully transformed when topped liberally with furikake. And it becomes a complete meal too because the furikake is rich in protein and calcium.
But it isn’t just on rice that furikake works wonders. You can sprinkle it on soup or even toss it with pasta and popcorn. And, yes, with fried chicken too.
