Treat your ingredients with care...
- Sushi-grade fish — Ensure that the fish is fresh and of high quality. If you're unsure, consult your local fishmonger for the best options.
- Sushi rice — Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. Use a rice cooker or follow the package instructions for perfect results.
- Green onions — Finely chop the green onions just before serving to maintain their freshness and vibrant flavor.
- Sesame seeds — Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until they turn golden brown for a nuttier taste.
- Nori strips — Cut nori sheets into thin strips using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife.
Tips & Tricks
- For added crunch, you can sprinkle some tempura flakes on top of the dish.
- Experiment with different types of fish, such as yellowtail or mackerel, to discover new flavor combinations.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a few drops of sriracha or chili oil to the sesame soy sauce.
- To make it a more substantial meal, serve Negitorodon with a side of miso soup and a fresh green salad.
- If you're not a fan of raw fish, you can lightly sear the fish slices in a hot pan for a few seconds on each side before assembling the dish.
Serving advice
Serve Negitorodon immediately after assembling to ensure the fish remains fresh and the flavors are at their peak. Pair it with a bowl of miso soup and a side of pickled ginger for a complete Japanese dining experience.
Presentation advice
Arrange the sliced fish on top of the sushi rice in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Drizzle the sesame soy sauce over the fish, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Sprinkle the chopped green onions evenly and garnish with sesame seeds and nori strips for an elegant touch.
