Thinly slice the tuna sashimi and plate it elegantly. Drizzle with miso yuzu sauce.
Prepare the nigiri rice by cooking it according to package instructions. Once cooked and slightly cooled, form small balls and top with chef's choice fish.
In a bowl, mix tempura batter mix with cold water until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan. Dip shrimp into the batter and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
In a pot, heat dashi stock and dissolve miso paste. Add cubed tofu and chopped green onions. Simmer for a few minutes.
Rinse short-grain rice until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the appliance's instructions.
Toss mixed greens with sesame dressing.
Plate pickled cucumbers and carrots on the side.
Cooked rice and miso soup keep refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving. Tempura shrimp is best eaten immediately; sashimi and nigiri do not store well after plating.
rice cooker (optional; stovetop pot works) · deep pan or wok (for frying tempura) · paper towels (for draining fried items)
Yes: cook rice and miso soup up to 4 hours ahead and reheat gently; slice tuna and prepare batter 30 minutes before serving; fry tempura shrimp last, just before plating.
Salmon and mackerel are listed in the recipe; also consider sea bream, yellowtail, or high-grade swordfish—always use sushi-grade fish.
Fry until golden brown (approximately 2–3 minutes); the batter should be crispy and the shrimp cooked through; drain immediately on paper towels to remove excess oil.
The recipe itself has no Friday-only restriction; the creator's note is likely a service note for their kitchen—prepare and serve whenever you choose.
No; you can cook short-grain rice in a pot: combine 1 cup rinsed rice with 1.5 cups water, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 18–20 minutes until water is absorbed.
