Ume Wakame Gohan is a simple mixed rice dish made with Umeboshi pickled sour plums and Wakame seaweed. There’s no chopping involved—just combine all the ingredients and let the rice cooker do the work. It’s incredibly easy, but don’t underestimate its flavor. The sourness of the Umeboshi and the umami from the seaweed create a winning combination. This refreshing rice pairs well with any meal on its own and also works wonderfully when made into Onigiri rice balls for breakfast or lunch. Hope you give this one a try soon!
