“I threw this together in a hurry one day and loved the way it came out. It's simple, wholesome, and that little bit different. You can get dried wakame seaweed in health food or Asian specialty stores. Serve warm or cold.” - by yummyinmytummy

1 cup brown rice
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
