Elevate Your Next Batch Of Fries Using A Japanese Seasoning
BY Josie Dlugosz
Ketchup, garlic, and cheese sauce are among the most popular seasonings for French fries. However, adding a Japanese seasoning called furikake will take them to a new level.
This popular Japanese seasoning is traditionally used to season rice and onigiri. Just a small amount of it adds extra nutritional value and flavor to a dish.
It's made of a protein — typically dried fish, but sometimes egg, beef, or pork — sesame seeds, sugar, dried seaweed flakes, and soy sauce.
Furikake translates to "sprinkle over" in English. Adding a simple sprinkle or two will give your fries a savory burst and a splash of color.
