Canola flower rice

Rice mixed with canola flower and salted kelp. Bitterness from canola flower and salted kelp bring the harmony of taste in early spring. Sesame is added.



 

I believe ancient people have enjoyed this simple dish everywhere in the countryside in our country for hundreds of years. Canola flower might be a symbol of early spring as well as such as ume flower or magnolia. 


I am not a good cook for such traditional dishes. However, I would try them and trace what ancestors have gone through. 


Canola spicies are rather stout as vegetable and are easily mated spontaneously. They would grow with spontaneous seeding. I would harvest and cook their flowers this spring. They could be simply boiled as a kind of salad. They are often materialized for pasta as well.
