Anyway to ... liven up Japanese rice?
 
I usually make Japanese curry and rice, or sushi. But today I don't have the ingredients, nor do I have the patience. Yet I feel the urge to have some rice.

But rice on it's own can be rather bland. To you cooking pros out there, anyway to liven up the rice?

I usually enjoy plain rice, but if I want some more flavour, I just add some soy sauce.

Strange-shaped onigiri?

You can make ochazuke or sprinkle some furikake on your gohan and eat it like that.

have the rice w/ a bit of miso soup (pour the soup over the rice)

if you have no miso
try tamago kake gohan~
make sure your rice is super hot and your eggs super pasturised x]

crack an egg into a whole that you made in your rice, add a bit of soy sauce and some sesame oil, and stir and eat xD


you could add natto w/ scallions too your rice as well~

hmm.......

so far that's all that comes too mind xD
i'll post more if your still interested and more comes too mind
lolz

I couldn't agree more! Always keep some Nagatanien ochazuke mixes at home. It turns left-over cold rice into a hot meal in a minute. It's excellent for breakfast and after-drinking meal as well.

Yup, that's the same one I use. If I have left over rice I'll have ochazuke for a late night snack or in the morning for breakfast.

Joining in the chorus!

Actually that is what I am having for lunch right now.....
Nagatanien Ume-boshi Chazuke.:D

Just wish I had made more of it.

Thank you all! I'll going to take some of these ideas now.

You see, some of the ingredients I don't have, because the place I buy the JApanese ingredients and parts, are like a 2 hour journey into the city.
