Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- 2 bowls of rice (approx. 300g each)
- 200g Sashimi-grade Tuna
- 2-3 Shiso Leaves
- A little shredded nori (seaweed)
- A little toasted white sesame seeds
- A little grated wasabi
Seasonings
- Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
- Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tsp
- Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tsp
Steps
- In a heatproof container, add Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tsp and Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tsp.
- Heat in the microwave at 600W for 40-50 seconds without a lid to evaporate the alcohol. (Key Tip!) Evaporating the alcohol ensures the tuna's flavor is preserved and results in a delicious dish.
- Add Soy Sauce 2 tbsp to the heated seasonings and mix to create the marinade.
- Spread the sashimi-grade tuna slices on a tray or flat plate.
- Pour the prepared marinade over the entire tuna, gently mix, and let it sit for 4-5 minutes. (Key Tip!) Even a short marinating time is enough to infuse the flavor.
- While the tuna is marinating, thinly slice 2-3 Shiso Leaves.
- Serve 2 bowls of rice into individual donburi bowls.
- Drizzle about 1 tsp of the marinade over the rice.
- Sprinkle a little shredded nori over the rice.
- Top with the marinated tuna, thinly sliced shiso leaves, a little toasted white sesame seeds, and a little grated wasabi to complete the dish.
