Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a skillet over medium. Add butter and let it melt until foamy, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add rice to the skillet and stir constantly to coat with butter, breaking up any clumps.

  3. Step 3

    Pour soy sauce over the rice and toss until every grain is coated, about 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle furikake generously over the top.

  5. Step 5

    Toss once more so the furikake distributes throughout, then serve immediately.
