Instructions
- Preparation: Remove the seeds from the umeboshi and mash them into a paste using a knife. Finely chop the shiso leaves and grate the garlic.
- Stir-fry Rice: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the grated garlic and then the rice, stirring until the rice is evenly coated with oil.
- Combine Shiso and Umeboshi: Add the chopped shiso leaves and umeboshi paste to the pan and continue stir-frying until everything is well combined.
- Season the Rice: Drizzle in the soy sauce, stir well, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Leftover rice or frozen rice works best for stir-fried rice. Just warm it up a bit before stir-frying.
- Umeboshi has a strong, salty, and tangy flavor. If it's your first time trying it, start with a small amount and adjust to your taste.
- Shiso is a Japanese herb that adds a refreshing note to the dish. You can substitute it with chopped scallions or your favorite herbs.
