- Toast the sesame seeds: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
- Use high-quality soy sauce: Opt for a Japanese soy sauce for the best flavor. Look for varieties labeled "koikuchi" or "shoyu", which are known for their rich, savory taste.
- Add vegetables for a more nutritious dish: Feel free to incorporate your favorite vegetables along with the rice. Steamed broccoli, sauteed mushrooms, or chopped bell peppers are all great options.
- Experiment with different seasonings: Besides sesame seeds and soy sauce, try adding other seasonings like garlic, ginger, or chili flakes to taste.
