Basmati Rice With Seaweed Crumbles

Do you think it’s strange that I love to snack on seaweed? I love getting those little snack packs of seaweed slices and snacking on then while I’m cooking, and I hate admitting this, but yes, I sometimes open it up right when I get in the car and snack on it on the way home. It’s a habit I have to break because it’s so flaky and ends up getting all over my car. Sigh.

The last time I went to the seaweed aisle I noticed this new brand that makes seaweed crumbles! This was like a dream come true for me, and needless to say became a new favorite. 

While I was in line at Whole Foods a few days ago, the nice woman in front of me also had a love of seaweed snacks, so we connected by discussing our favorite seaweed brands and flavors. I started raving over how delicious the crumbles are, and she gave the the idea of using it in food over salad or in a stir fry.

I look her in the eye and said, “rice!” I’m going to make rice with seaweed flakes! 

Tonight was the night I made my seaweed rice. It was super easy and you have so much variety with it. For example, I had it with a side of chickpeas and asparagus. I also had some  Chimichura Salsa that I got at the Farmers Market from a local vendor where I live in Orlando, so think about the sauces you love that would go great with your rockin’ seaweed rice.

Here’s the recipe:
