Ingredients

1 servings

¼ lb sashimi-grade tuna (maguro) ((thinly sliced or cut into small cubes/chunks))
1 serving cooked Japanese short-grain rice ((typically 1⅔ cups (250 g) per donburi serving))
1 g reen onion/scallion
⅛ tsp toasted white sesame seeds
shredded nori seaweed
5 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp mirin
1 tsp sake

Steps

Before You Start: Gather all the ingredients. For the steamed rice, please note that ¾ cup (150 g, 1 rice cooker cup) of uncooked Japanese short-grain rice yields 2¼ US cups (330 g) of cooked white rice, enough for 1 donburi serving (1⅔ cups (250 g). See how to cook short-grain rice with a rice cooker, pot on the stove, Instant Pot, or donabe.
To a bowl, add ¼ lb sashimi-grade tuna (maguro), 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp mirin, and 1 tsp sake. Toss gently and marinate for 3–5 minutes.
Place the tuna on top of 1 serving cooked Japanese short-grain rice that has been cooled down for 2–3 minutes.
Sprinkle with 1 green onion/scallion (chopped), shredded nori seaweed, and ⅛ tsp toasted white sesame seeds. You can julienned 5 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba) and sprinkle them on top (optional). Serve immediately.
Sashimi-grade tuna must be kept in the refrigerator and used within 24 hours.
