Tossing sushi rice with a sesame seed and scallion mixture is a nod to furikake, a Japanese rice seasoning that also typically includes seaweed and dried bonito flakes.

Reviews
This is so good – just the right level of sweetness and saltiness mixed with the taste of sesame and scallions. The flavors blend perfectly. I was going to just make this for myself, but my family tasted it, and they request it.
This dish was ok…I’m not such a big fan of tossed sesame seeds…and I thought t was kind of bland but once I put on some soy sauce it was better
