Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white or light miso paste* (see notes)
• 1½ tablespoons mirin
• 1 tablespoon Furikake
• 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce or Tamari* (see notes)
• 1½ teaspoons chili paste
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger pulp
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 4 cups cooked rice (ideally Jasmine)
• approx. 3 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado, vegetable)
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro, washed and dried

Instructions

• Make the sauce. In a large bowl (big enough to hold all of the rice), whisk the miso paste with the mirin, soy sauce, chili paste, Furikake, garlic, ginger and sugar.

• Mix and Sauté. Add the cooked rice to the bowl and mix until it's evenly coated with the miso mixture. - Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with the oil. Once it's hot, add the rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it's very aromatic and some of the rice in golden.

• Mix in the cilantro and serve!

   This is great! I have miso in my fridge but I often forget to use it. This recipe will be perfect!

   Interesting! I make a lot of fried rice dishes but mostly as an easy one-dish peasant-style dinner using available vegetables and a protein, egg or meat. Must adnit I have not served it as a spicy - herby concoction as here! Shall try!! Being medically trained and still studying nutrition I will not touch vegetable/seed oils because of how they are produced and since most have had contact with RoundUp . . . but do use grapeseed and rice bran when olive oil is too strongly flavoured.

     I really like bran oil for cooking. I'm so glad you reminded me of that, as I'll give it as an option for lots of recipes. Thank you and enjoy, Eha. 🙂 ~Valentina
