Uni and Ikura Rice Bowl

Step 1

Rinse the 1 cup sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.

Step 2

Combine the rice and 1.25 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. The rice should be tender and fluffy.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and 0.5 tsp salt until dissolved. Fold this into the cooked rice while it's still warm. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Divide the seasoned rice between two bowls, shaping it gently into a mound.

Step 5

Arrange the 4 pieces of uni and 2 tbsp ikura on top of the rice. Add a small dollop of 1 tsp wasabi on the side.

Step 6

Serve immediately, mixing the wasabi into the rice or soy sauce if desired.

Step 7

Enjoy your bowl fresh, as uni and ikura are best eaten right away.
