20 Best Seasoning For White Rice (2023 Updated)

Who let other white people write these reviews? Some nori naturally comes with lead or arsenic. Its like saying eating fish is dangerous because it contains mercury. It’s safe to eat in healthy quantities.

Furikaka is a delightful seasoning enjoyed in many Asian households. It’s an amazing addition to rice bowls of any sort.

our family may not be a full Asian household but we know furikake is a MUST with rice and other foods, we looove this seasoning. it has a sweet and salty taste that goes sooooo well with rice and a bit of soy sauce, its the BEST combination.

if you pass on this just because of people who say it is bad or simply because you dont like seaweed you are missing out! BEST SEASONING EVER!.

So tasty. One of our favorites. Yes, there’s a lead warning. It’s from the ocean that’s a given. Same with fish and other seaweed/kelp products.

I really like this, you can do a lot with mirin. One of the best uses I have found for it was making this orange julius recipe instead of using honey as the sweetener. However there are a ton of Japanese recipes this was designed for so if you’re into Japanese food this is a must.

My must have! I put it into everything I make. It has a slightly sweet taste so sometimes I pour a bit of this in replace of sugar (only when a small amount of sugar is needed). This what I use to take my food up a notch in a subtle way.

Want to learn the secret to restaurant style Teriyaki sauce?! This is it! Just use kikkoman mirin with kikkoman soy sauce and sugar, that’s it! Simmer until sugar is dissolved and it’s lightly thickened.

If you like thicker, just add some cornstarch mixed with water. Perfect results every time and it’s authentic. My favorite mirin out there!.

Sometimes I like to have rice on its own with a little bit of seasoning and this goes so well! It’s a Japanese spice blend with sesame seeds, crispy seaweed flakes, and dried salmon bits. There’s an umami flavor so it doesn’t require much.

It comes in a little glass jar with a plastic cap and goes for $6. 99. And it lasts long for me so I would only buy this one at a time to go through it before hr expires. Overall, I love it and since I am done with this one, I’m going to buy another flavor from this brand to try out!.

I loveee furikake, however i usually end up using it on boiled eggs rather than rice. This one has dried egg pieces i think? So it actually makes rice really yummy!

So I was stationed in Hawaii for a few years and would always eat spam musubi and I loved it. I tried to make it myself and being that I have zero culture of my own being a white boy from the Midwest, they never tasted right.

This seasoning is what was missing. Absolutely delicious!!!.

I didn’t care for the beef flavor (purple one) but otherwise it’s a good variety for the price. If you like the more umami flavors (bonito/salmon/shrimp) this mix is for you. There are ones with more egg and one with wasabi which are good too and this mix included the original nori.

All great for musubi!.

This variety set comes at a little lower price than buying them individually. there is a taste for everyone. Great seasoning for bland rice.

The variety in this is fabulous. The jar sizes are generous and it tastes amazing. Highly recommend.

I’m so bored with plain simple rice, that this seasoning was interesting enough to try as I love Mexican seasoning/spices. Besides the insane amount of sodium it has, the flavor is bomb, so so delicious.

I think to cut on sodium I can try and put less of it into rice next time, yeah it won’t be as rich, but still will be great and more interesting than plain old rice. Super easy to use and very convenient too.

From time to time it’s ok to add things like that to your diet. I’ve seen healthier options, but this one is just too delicious to pass. Will seek out more and other flavors. Thanks!.

I got this knorr Mexican red rice seasoning for the first time recently. With 4 kids, there is usually 1 that isn’t a fan of something new, but they all enjoyed it. Most other variations of Mexican rice are prepackaged with rice already in it, and in most cases in our local stores they don’t carry Mexican rice variety that is organic or brown rice.

I like that this knorr product is just the seasoning and we can use our own preferred organic brown rice. Easy to cook, and cooks in the same time it took me to cook the meat. 10 out of 10 will be adding as an addition to our Mexican meals.

I like the original flavor furikake from this brand; I thought I would try the salmon flavor (but haven’t received it yet, so can’t rate!)

I “discovered” this seasoning a few years back and I LOVE it!! I recently moved to another state and the local Walmart carried it, but then, they stopped! NOOOO!! I tried several different other brands of this seasoning, but they couldn’t compare [not even close!].

When I learned that I could order it through Walmart, even though I had to pay for shipping, I was more than willing!! That’s how delicious it is!!.

I love this product. It makes fried rice so easy and quick to make. It requires only a few easy ingredients unless you want to add things to it and put your own spin on it. My family loves it and is very budget friendly.

I highly recommend this if you love fried rice.

I use this to help me make my best dish of fried rice. It’s easy to use and a very cheap purchase. I love the taste it gives and I add sriracha to top it off. I am def satisfied with this and I hope they never stop making it!.

Why so much sodium? For all the good ‘organic’ does for the consumer, the sodium erases any benefit, and probably does more harm. If I want a little bit of salt, I’ll add my own, and certainly not 1400mg.

Sorry, will not be buying this.

This is sooo delicious. It’s organic. Vegan. And gluten free. The cilantro lime flavor is very strong but compliments my tacos very well.

We tried the rest, just to see if Zatarain’s Red Beans & Rice is the best. IT IS!!! We make it with olive oil. The flavor is spectacular. We spoon it into flour tortillas (or wheat) and roll them up, making the best rice and bean burritos ever.

Sometimes we add a little cooked ground beef. My husband likes shredded cheese, salsa, & sour cream on them. I noticed a review asking for more beans to be healthier. I’d like for the rice to be brown rice to be healthier.

The flavor is soooooo good that ONLY healthier could improve it!.

I started eating this a year ago trying to make a p**eye* copycat and I acheived something even better. I eat it at least once a week now and try to keep a bowl ready in the frige for microwaving. I boil a hammock or preferbably a package of smoked pork neck bones on low heat for several hours, cool and strip the meat from the bones and chop it up.

I measure the remaining liquid to scale for the recipe and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of cumin and 1 1/2 teaspoons of hickory smoke powder and finish the recipe according to directions.

After falling in love the the zatarains jambalaya rice I thought I’d also try this too. Personally while I liked the seasonings I didn’t really feel wowed by this one. Cooking time is great another quick 25 minute meal where you can add extra veg and protein of your choosing.

For me i didn’t like how it cooked quite wet despite following the instructions. I never have that issue with the other zatarains rices, plus the bean taste really overpowered the rice, spices and other vegetables which I really disliked it could be because they are dried vs the canned wet beans I normally cook with.

While I think the idea is good for me I wouldn’t recommend this one it hasn’t been brought since I tried it twice thinking maybe I was being too picky.

Very good for a quick stir fry at home. There is a recipe recommendation on the back of the pouch, but it wouldn’t matter much what you used it for. It makes a nice, authentic sauce around anything you choose to use.

I use this on almost everything I cook. Such a wonderful flavor. Please don’t ever stop making this sauce, I’ll starve. LolDelicious!

I love these new stirfry mix packages by Kikko man. I like to make stirfry but I don’t like to buy all the extra ingredients needed for it. So this is aweomeIt has all you need to make great taste in stir Fry in one package.

And of course you can’t beat the price. .

I’ve tried similar seasonings, but none was as good as this one. I wished I had discovered this brand a looonnng time ago! I used half of a pack for a large pan. Taste is very authentic and delicious.

I’m going to buy a lot of these to stock up bc I’m afraid they will discontinue this product or change the ingredients.

I follow a keto diet. Have for 4 months and lost 50lbs. One thing I like to do is use this with frozen cauli rice sautéed in a pan. Then add the eggs and veggies and if you’d like meat! Following the directions with low sodium soy sauce you can have keto fried rice anytime 🙂 and it’s amazing.

This was easy to make and affordable as well. I only used two cups of white rice and it still wasn’t enough flavoring for me, however. I sauteed sausage, pineapple, jalapeno, green bell pepper, onion, celery in coconut oil before adding the rice.

I then added fresh shrimp and green onion. I feel the instructions could’ve been a little more specific when adding the egg; when scrambling the egg, make sure to scramble it most of the way BEFORE mixing with rice and veggies or you’ll end up with sticky rice and overcooked meat and/or veggies.

I also added frozen carrots and peas. Overall, a great meal.

I can’t wait to give the thanksgiving dressing a little trigger finger and hit it with that “pop-pop!” I can already hear everyone asking, “what did you season that with?!” And I’ll let ‘em know…”you don’t know until you Dan-O!” Jokes aside, this is a great product.

This seasoning has literally brought some color back into my grandmother’s strict diet regimen. She has multiple health issues and constantly complained about how terribly bland her food was ever since starting this new diet.

Thank you guys! If you buy this product, get the big bottle and don’t be stingy with it! The more the betterer!!!!!.

My order had a mix up (post office daily not DanO) but the Dan O customer service quickly resolved the issue and got my product out to me fast. The product was well packed and the seasoning looked fresh.

The only reason I give it 3 stars is because for me, I didn’t like the actual taste of the seasoning. It’s very fresh and citrusy so if you like that flavor with your meats this is definitely the one.

I was just a bit overwhelming the citrusy taste. I so wanted to LOVE this as a lot of my favorite IG chefs use it. I will try it again perhaps on fish (first time was on chicken). Thanks for your great customer service though Dan’O team!.

I came across this on and decided to try it. First, I like that it DOES NOT HAVE ingredients one doesn’t need: sugar, gluten, MSG and no GMO. I also like that it is low in sodium. This is really important as I do really need to watch my intake.

The salt it does have just pulls the ingredients together to create a great flavor without being the main ingredient. This spicy seasoning has a nice kick to it which I love. I use it on a lot of different kinds of food: meat, eggs, veggies, soups, hash browns, etc.

If one does not like a kick to their food, then use the original seasoning; it good too!.

I mainly make meals at home using meals shipped to ones home (hello fresh, home chef, blue apron, etc. ) and used this instead of standard black pepper. I did so since I ran out of the standard pepper and I got to say after using this 7 spice one there is no going back to the standard one.

SO loved ths McCormick Gourmet Japanese 7 Spice Seasoning! It tastes exactly like the spice packets that you’d get from the Beef Bowl’s Yoshinoya chain restaurants! Except this one is all organic and natural! I add this as a finishing topping to all my stir fry and Asian meals! Very upset that my local Ralph’s market no longer carries this spice!.

Very, very, very, very hot. I’d had spicy Japanese foods prepared by Japanese cooks, but nothing that approached this. This will be more than a lifetime’s supply.

goya-coriander–annatto-seasoning-3. 52-oz Go To www. goya. com for great recipes using Sazon Goya!! This is absolutely most definitely without a doubt the best addition to ALL my meats, stews, soups, poultry, pasta, rice, beans, vegetables-everything.

Is a delicious seasoning the flavor just adds a complex taste to your dishes, no matter what you decide on for dinner. I paid $3. 79 for a box at Shoprite that contains 36 packets and it has 1/4 teaspoon of product in each packet.

It just adds the most beautiful color to your dishes in order to WOW your loved ones!!. I definitely recommend if you haven’t tried it already!!. If you have tried it before I encourage you to join me in the conversation in the comments below, would love to hear about my Influensters’ recipes.

Otherwise take always in this pandemic and God bless 🙏. I’ll catch you Influensters’ in my next one.

I love great tamales and was raised on good Mexican style tamales wrapped in a corn husks. But until I spent fourteen years in Viento Frio Rep?blic? d? Panam?, I hadn’t realized what the best tamale tasted like or had lurking with it’s vast 1 ?” x 3″ x 7″-9″ Masa form.

Tamales in Panam? are eaten for any meal anytime of the year. I’ve paid from $0. 50-$2. 00 US dollar for one. Sunday afternoon was a good time to find a mother or a couple of kids carrying a 5 gallon bucket on their heads with a bath towel rolled like a cinnamon roll to center the load on anyones head.

They were usually selling them to have the money for one other more kids to travel to a larger community for the school week, live with another family and return Friday evening after school. A typical tamale would have a chicken wing or, leg with the foot minus the toe nails, a long string bean, a few green olives with pimento, a tablespoon of whole kernel corn, maybe some shreds of purple or green cabbage, slices or lengths of carrots, onion, garlic and assorted peppers, usually sweet bells in green or colors.

These were seldom spicy hot even though some habanero peppers would find their way into the mixture. A onion pepper salsa was prepared, usually one person working on gathering those items, rinsing and slicing them in preparation for the blender.

Another would boil water and cook the chicken then several women would de bone and shred the chicken meat. Another person gathered firewood and it takes a lot of wood as they start them in a 40 gallon cast iron pot sitting on concrete blocks or hanging over the fire about 14:00 hrs and they cooked until 06:00 in the morning.

Another person was in charge of gathering leaves that would be used to hold the formed shape of the tamales together and keep it nearly sealed during the cooking process. These were similar to a banana or plantain leaf, so if you were making and steaming 100 tamales you needed one leaf for about three tamales and 6 or eight to cover the top of the pot with even though you might have a lid, you wanted a good seal so they steamed good.

Oh, string to tie the leaf around the tamale wrapped inside the leaf. It might take 8 people doing this laborious project and usually all mother’s each with children of their own, or an Aunt (Tia) or a grandmother (abuela) donating their time.

After eating my first one on a customized school bus riding from Col?n to Viento Frio, I decided I’d learn how to make my own. A chicken leg with the foot was not my cup of tea. A nice big half chicken breast divided length wise will make about 8 tamales.

This is definitely the best seasoning I have ever tried because it’s so easy to make a simple rice recipe. My aunt gave me this seasoning to try and now I’m hooked. I use it to make Spanish rice and it comes out so tasty.

Not to mention it’s so easy and quick to incorporate into the recipes. Can be used in soups; stews etc. This will be a staple for me and can’t wait to purchase more of this delicious seasoning! Love it 😍.

What a great company! I love the sourcing of its products and the fresh taste and smell. I am a foodie, my daughter is a professional chef who just sold her upscale restaurant. To celebrate I sent her spices/herbs that I know she never heard of and then others that are just fabulous.

She was in HEAVEN when she received them. I just sent her the Vanilla Powder and I can’t wait for her review. She continues to cater and these herbs/spices bring up her creativity! Thank you Burlap and Barrel.

Whatever you do B&B please do not stop offering the Jollof Rice Blend, I can’t get enough of it. Great as a side or add your favorite veggies and you have a meal. Add it to stuffed peppers or garden tomatoes, add cooked ground sausage meat, cooked hamburger, cubed or ground cooked chicken, anything works.

I make a big batch in my rice cooker and add meat or veggies to it all week, the perfect spice blend. Thank you B&B for another great find!!!!.

I ordered this Jollof spice the first time I saw it Pok’s spices’ page. I had no second thought because I use Pok spices and it’s the best. I made my Jollof and I am glad I made a big pan because my family has been feasting on the delicious meal since it was made.

If you are thinking about getting this, don’t think just get it and you will be back here to give wonderful reviews.

I never realized that there was rice flour. I learned something new. I will be using this flour primarily for the GF Donuts I will be making.

YOU KNOW. WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEST. YOU NEVER GO SEARCHING FOR ANY THING ELSE! YOU HAVE THE BEST PRICES AND PRODUCTS WE’VE FOUND ! GREAT AS ALWAYS. YOU GUYS ARE THE B E S T !!!! WE ARE ‘NEVER’ DISAPPOINTED !!! WE WILL ALWAYS STAY LOYAL TO YOU AND YOUR PRODUCTS ‘CUZ YOU’RE THE BEST NUTS FAMILY AROUND!!! WE LOVE YOU CUZ YOU’RE NUT FAMILY IS A HAPPY NUT FAMILY LIKE OURS!.

I’ve received my second order of organic and gluten free flours from Nuts. com. I love this company! Their products are fresh, well packaged, and quite reasonably priced. Shipping speed. Wow! Fast! No more waiting for days or a week for an order to arrive.

Nuts. com has become my #1 source for my gluten free (and organic) baking needs!.

In the past, I would have given this product 5 stars. I have been purchasing this rice for several years, and my family and I really thought it was delicious. I cooked a package of the rice last night, and the seasoning powders and spices in the foil packaging were in a hard clump at the bottom of the package.

I stirred the hard clump quite a bit in the oiled boiling water, but the clump never really broke up completely. Hard dark pieces were visible throughout my finished rice dish, and they tasted bad. This product has not always had this problem, but every package I have bought for the past year has been like this.

I am going to stop buying until the manufacturer can get this problem solved.

incorrect item and qty–ordered (SAFFRON) not simply seasoned and it should have been; i believe 10oz. bags–PRICE EFFECT, ADJ. and find out WHY THINGS I SAVE FOR LATER, end back up n of course charging me!.

Really good and mild flavor. I added chopped veggies, onions, chicken and light chicken butter sauce to it; husband loved. and that is unusual; he doesn’t like rice much at all. So, I was glad this was a hit!!!.
