Description
Delicious salmon donburi (サーモン丼) made with marinated sashimi-grade salmon, fresh avocado and crunch cucumber served over soft Japanese white rice. (serves 2 - recipe doesn't include how to cook rice)
Ingredients
- 150-200g sashimi-grade salmon
- 1 avocado
- 50ml soy sauce
- 50ml mirin
- 50ml sake
- 1 small sheet kombu (approx 5g)
- 2 portions cooked rice
- 1 cucumber
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Kizami nori strips (optional)
- Chili threads (optional)
- Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
- Pour 50ml soy sauce, 50ml mirin and 50ml sake into a small pan and bring it to a boil on a medium-high heat.
- Allow the sauce to boil for 1 min to burn off the alcohol in the mirin and sake.
- Remove the pan from heat and allow the sauce to cool down to room temperature. (You can speed up the process by transferring the sauce to a heatproof bowl and placing it in a bowl of ice.)
- Cut the salmon block and avocado into cubes and place them in a container.
- Place a small piece of kombu in the container and then pour the marinade over the salmon and avocado until everything is evenly coated.
- Cover it with plastic wrap, the plastic wrap should be in direct contact with the salmon.
- If your container has a lid, secure it on. (If not, place another piece of plastic wrap over the top.) Store in the refrigerator for 30 mins.
- After 30 mins dish up the rice and cut the cucumber into cubes. Scatter the salmon, avocado and cucumber over the rice.
- Pour 1/2 tbsp of the leftover marinade over each bowl.
- Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of sesame seeds over each bowl and garnish with kizami nori and/or chili threads.
- Enjoy!
Notes
If you're using a rice cooker, set the rice while you're waiting for the marinade.
