Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, in a small bowl, combine the 3 Tbsp of shrimp with 2 Tbsp of mirin (or cooking sake). Gently mix and let it marinate for 10 minutes. This step effectively removes any fishy odor from the shrimp, ensuring a cleaner taste.
Step 2
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. If you find it difficult to dice thinly, first use a vegetable peeler to create thin slices, then finely chop them with a knife. Prepare 2 Tbsp of diced cucumber.
Step 3
Along with the 2 Tbsp of diced cucumber, prepare 2 Tbsp of diced onion. Also, have 1/2 tsp of wasabi ready for the sauce. Feel free to adjust the amount of wasabi according to your preference.
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 1-2 minutes until pink and cooked through. Immediately drain the shrimp without rinsing them under cold water. This helps to retain the shrimp’s natural flavor and juices.
Step 5
Crack the 2 eggs into a bowl for scrambling. Add a pinch of black pepper to the eggs to enhance their flavor.
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the toppings for the rice bowl. Have 3 Tbsp of seasoned seaweed flakes (or crumbled seasoned seaweed) ready. You’ll also be preparing the scrambled eggs shortly.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp wasabi, and 1 Tbsp mirin (or cooking sake). Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth.
Step 8
Add the cooked shrimp to the prepared sauce and gently toss to coat. Ensure the shrimp are evenly mixed with the sauce.
Step 9
Now, let’s assemble your delicious shrimp and mayonnaise rice bowl! Place warm rice attractively in a serving bowl. Arrange the scrambled eggs around the edge of the rice, then sprinkle the seasoned seaweed flakes over the top. Finally, generously spoon the sauced shrimp mixture over the rice to complete your elegant meal. Enjoy your Shrimp and Mayonnaise Rice Bowl!
