Directions

  1. 1

    Mix all namasu ingredients together and set aside for 30 minutes; divide into 4 portions, then set aside.

  2. 2

    For the seasoned spinach, parboil the spinach with a pinch of salt. Drain and squeeze out moisture, then cut into 2 cm / 1 in. pieces. Mix with soy sauce and sesame oil. Divide into 4 portions, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Remove salmon skin, sprinkle a little salt on both sides of the fish and set aside for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Mix together the ingredients for scrambled eggs. Heat non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, add the egg mixture and slowly stir with a spatula continuously until the egg begins to set, then reduce heat. Continue to stir vigorously until the eggs are fairly well-done; divide into 4 portions and set aside.

  5. 5

    Pat salmon with paper towel. Cut each fillet diagonally into 8 slices. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan, and sauté both sides of the salmon.

  6. 6

    Add the combined ingredients for the tomato soy sauce to the salmon in the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.

  7. 7

    To serve, each bowl is prepared individually as follows: Place half a single serving of cooked rice into the bowl, then cover with nori. Add the other half of the rice serving over the nori. Continue to layer in this order: drizzle a spoonful of tomato soy sauce over the rice, leaving a little aside for garnish. Cover this with one portion of eggs, one portion of seasoned spinach, and finally four pieces of the grilled salmon. Lightly drizzle a little tomato soy sauce over the salmon. Top with namasu and sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.

  1. *1Even the stems of Japanese spinach are eaten because they are particularly tender.
