This is for the Japanese food lovers! Todayโ€™s recipe will prepare you to make your own Japanese set meal, from doing your own Uni Don (sea urchin rice), chawanmushi, all the way down to your own sashimi!
For that fresh taste of the sea, we have added in a ย good serving of uni as well. Uni may not be cheap, but for that price youโ€™re paying to make it at home, the servings are huge compared to what youโ€™ll get in restaurants outside. In making the rice, itโ€™s very key to add in the vinegar mixture right after the rice is steamed. We also added clams to the miso paste to make a yummy miso clam soup. Remember also to only use ONLY sashimi grade salmon and tuna!
In over an hour, youโ€™ll have yourself a fabulous treat of Japanese food for yourself and your loved ones. A perfect weekend treat!
