Instructions
- Let's make steamed rice first. Place 360 ml (1.52 cups) of rice in a bowl and add a generous amount of water.
- Stir lightly and rinse the rice.
- Discard the milky water with a mesh strainer and place the rice in the bowl.
- Add clean water again and repeat the same procedure 2 more times.
- Drain the rice well.
- Transfer the rinsed rice into an earthen pot.
- Add 400 ml (1.69 cups) of water to the pot and make sure the rice is submerged.
- Let the rice soak in the water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. If it's in winter, let it sit for 2 to 3 hours.
- Let's prepare for the toppings. Cut the cucumber lengthwise in half. Slice it thinly using diagonal cuts.
- Cut the myoga ginger bud lengthwise in quarters.
- Slice off the bottom core. This makes shredding easier since every layer of the myoga will be separated.
- Cut off the stems of the shiso leaves.
- Roll them up and then and chop into thin strips.
- Slice the young ginger into thin slices.
- Stack the slices and chop them into thin strips.
- Cut the kaiware radish sprouts in half and remove the root parts.
- Cut the sping onion leaf in 4 pieces.
- Chop them into fine pieces.
- Slice the new onion thinly.
- Let's cook the rice with an earthen pot.
- Turn on the stove and bring to a boil on high heat. When it begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and avoid boil-over. Cook for 12 minutes and then turn off the burner.
- Let the rice sit for 15 minutes with the lid on.
- Let's season the toppings with the wasabi soy sauce. Dissolve the wasabi in the soy sauce.
- Put the wasabi soy sauce on the fresh tuna, scallop and the other toppings.
- Next, tear a sheet of toasted nori seaweed into small pieces.
- Now, the rice is ready.
- Scoop up the rice with a rice paddle several times.
- Serve the rice in a bowl half full.
- Add the white sesame seeds, toasted nori seaweed, myoga ginger bud, shiso leaves and ginger root.
- Add the cucumber, onion and long green onion.
- Serve the rice in the bowl again and cover the toppings.
- Add the white sesame seeds, toasted nori seaweed, myoga ginger bud, shiso leaves and ginger root.
- Add the cucumber, onion and long green onion.
- Finally, add the tuna and scallop.
- Garnish with the white sesame seeds, kaiware radish sprouts and wasabi.
- The fresh steamed rice served with the tuna and scallop seasoned with the wasabi soy sauce is very delicious.
