Bring dashi stock to a gentle simmer in a small pot over medium heat, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk miso paste into a small bowl with 3 tbsp warm dashi until smooth, then stir back into the pot.

Divide warm rice into 4 portions. Make a small indent in each, add one umeboshi piece, then gently shape into a triangle using damp hands.
Step 4
Wrap each rice ball with a strip of nori, shiny side facing out. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Toss salad greens with rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Divide onto two plates.
