Ingredients
- 9 oz sashimi-grade albacore tuna
- 2 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice (typically 1⅔ cups (250 g) per donburi serving)
- 4 Tbsp shredded nori seaweed (kizami nori)
- 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds
- 1 green onion/scallion
- 3 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba)
- ½ inch ginger (½ inch, 1.3 cm)
- ½ tsp wasabi (optional)
Sauce:
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp mirin
- 1 Tbsp sake
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Before You Start: Gather all the ingredients. For the steamed rice, please note that 1½ cups (300 g, 2 rice cooker cups) of uncooked Japanese short-grain rice yield 4⅓ cups (660 g) of cooked rice, enough for 2 donburi servings (3⅓ cups, 500 g). See how to cook short-grain rice with a rice cooker, pot over the stove, Instant Pot, or donabe.
- To make the sauce, combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and transfer the sauce into a small bowl, set on ice over a larger bowl.
- Slice the albacore tuna into about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick slices and marinate in the sauce for 10 minutes.
- Cut the scallion into fine slices. Roll up the shiso leaves together and slice thinly.
