Winter Tangerine Furikake

Many of you who know me, know my heart lies in Asian food, Japanese ranks high in these stakes. There is something beguiling about the flavours, textures, and culture, so clean on the palate, all so in balance.

Furikake has always been a stalwart for me, that umami rich flavour and texture bomb that has the ability to transform any dish into a powerhouse of seasoning.

This recipe harnesses the delicate citrus note of tangerine, used in shichimi togarashi and uses it in furikake for the easiest way to elevate a dish.

Small but mighty, this seasoning packs a punch…

The secret lies in the tangerine zest, fresh and zingy to foil the earthy umami

Add it to anything, you’ll just love it…

It keeps so well, not that it will last…..
