Ingredients
- ½ lb maguro tataki (chopped tuna for negitoro)
- 1 avocado (cut into ¼-inch cubes; see Notes)
- 1 green onion/scallion (use if the negitoro package didn't come with green onions; sliced thin)
- 2 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice (typically 1⅔ cups (250 g) per donburi serving)
- ¼ cup shredded nori seaweed (kizami nori) (to garnish)
- 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds
For the Seasonings
- 2 Tbsp mentsuyu (concentrated noodle soup base)
- 2 tsp soy sauce
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 with a rice cooker, pot on the stove, Instant Pot, or donabe.
- Divide 2 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice into individual (large) donburi bowls, sprinkle 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds on top, and let cool. Chop 1 green onion/scallion.
- Slice open 1 avocado and remove the pit.
- Cut the avocado into cubes and scoop out the avocado into a bowl. See how in my tutorial How to Cut an Avocado.
- Add ½ lb maguro tataki (chopped tuna for negitoro), the avocado cubes, and the green onion slices to the bowl. Add 2 tsp soy sauce and 2 Tbsp mentsuyu (concentrated noodle soup base) and gently mix together without smashing the avocado.
- Sprinkle some ¼ cup shredded nori seaweed (kizami nori) on top and serve the negitoro mixture on top of the steamed rice. Garnish with more nori and green onion. Your Avocado and Negitoro Donburi is now ready to enjoy!
