Ingredients
1 canned tuna (or alternatively some saba or salmon), 1 bowl of rice, 1 tbsp of soysauce (or tsuyu), 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 1 raw egg and 1 packet of furikake.
Step 1
add 1 tbsp of sesame oil and 1 tbsp of soysauce or tsuyu on to the rice. although soy sauce gives off a more stronger flavor in the end, i prefer tsuyu mainly because it tends to offer a more complex mix of flavors to the palate.
Step 2
open up your can of tuna, salmon or saba, and drain the water or oil from the can. i find that the “tuna in oil” tend to lubricate better with the rice, but the “tuna in water” seem more chewy in the final product; my favorite fish to use is salmon since it lubricates well and tastes chewy at the same time.
Step 3
dump your canned fish of choice on top of the rice bowl, spread it out evenly, and add a cracked egg on top of this mixture; a lot of westerners seem to have this stigma against eating raw eggs, but i’ve been doing it for over 23 years and i’m still alive without a single salmonella infection to date!
Step 4
tear open the packet of furikake you set aside and sprinkle on top of your mixture. i’m a particular fan of かつお furikake so i tend to use the かつお flavor most of the times, but i’ve tried this with salmon flakes, plain sliced nori, gohandesuyo, or just plain katsuobushi and they’ve all worked out great.
Step 5
mix well in bowl, and enjoy! i also recommend adding some miso soup as a side for a complete meal.
