About the Recipe
I've delved a little into the history of ochazuke in one of my other recipe introductions (Ochazuke with Salmon) so all I shall say here is that ochazuke is a much revered, traditional Japanese dish. More important, this is easy to make, really quite pretty to behold and good to eat.
Ingredients
1 tin of tuna (145g net weight)
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
400g cooked rice*
1 sheet of nori
2 spring onion, rinsed
2 tsp toasted sesam seeds
a little wasabi
green tea
Preparation
cut off both ends of the spring onion, then thinly slice diagonally
fold the nori in half. repeat twice more to create a little square shape. then use scissors to cut the nori into matchsticks
put the tuna, soy sauce & sugar in a pan and stir over a high heat for 1 minute
to assemble your ochazuke:
place 1/2 of the rice in each serving bowl. top with the tuna and add the spring onion. sprinkle over the sesame seeds and pile the nori on the top
add a little wasabi and pour over the green tea before serving
