Ingredient Notes

Furikake can be found in most major grocery stores in the Asian section. In a pinch mix toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped dried nori sheets in a bowl. This gives it more of a “sushi roll” taste and can be omitted all together if need be. 

 

If mango is hard to time using fresh pineapple here is great too!
