What Is Rice Seasoning?
A Japanese dry condiment used for perking up rice and other dishes, rice seasoning is available at Asian markets and well-stocked supermarkets. Check the label before you buy; some brands contains dried shrimp or shaved bonito flakes. The basic ingredients are crumbled seaweed, sesame seeds, salt, and sugar. You just shake out what you want from the small jar.
