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!

Instructions
- Wash the rice a couple of times, draining all the water each time. Place the washed rice into the removable bowl of the rice cooker and add water up to the 2-cup line. Add salt, Wakame, and Umeboshi plums, then mix well. Cook as you would regular white rice.
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a spatula, breaking the Umeboshi into small pieces and removing the pits. Let the rice rest for 10 minutes before serving.
