Serving advice
Serve the Japanese-style Tiella hot, straight from the oven. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an attractive presentation. Pair it with a side of pickled ginger to enhance the flavors.
Presentation advice
To create an appealing presentation, use a round baking dish to showcase the layers of rice and seafood-vegetable mixture. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for a pop of color. Serve the Tiella in individual bowls or on plates, allowing the layers to be visible.
