Roast Corn Rice with Canned Corn

1. 1

   Drain the canned corn well, and add the corn to a frying pan (don't need oil).

2. 2

   Once the moisture has cooked off, add the soy sauce and test the flavor.

3. 3

   Add the rice, and top with aonori seaweed if you like.

4. 4

   For seconds, mix in a bit of butter for a more western taste.

5. 5

   I worry that this might spoil in a summer bento box.

6. 6

   Add an umeboshi when you cook it.

7. 7

   The rice won't take on the flavor of the umeboshi, and the flavor of the umeboshi doesn't change either.

   It's mysterious.
