‘Yukari (ゆかり)’ is a Furikake (Rice Seasoning) and it is made of dried Red Shiso leaves. When I cooked Glutinous Rice with Black Beans, I added it because the rice didn’t turn purple as I wished, and I thought the flavour of the rice was too bland. The rice tastes nicer and looks prettier with ‘Yukari’, which is available from many Asian grocery stores.

Wash Rice and drain. Place Rice and Black Beans in the rice cooker’s inner pot, add 300ml Water, and press Cook/Start button.

When the rice is cooked and steamed, sprinkle ‘Yukari’, toss the rice and gently mix to combine.
