Main Ingredients- 180g Cooked Rice (1 serving)
- 1 Onion
- 200g Salmon Fillet
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing the cooked rice. Using freshly steamed rice will enhance the flavor.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the onion into strips. Slicing them not too thick ensures they absorb the sauce well.
Step 3
Remove any bones from the prepared salmon and slice it thinly into pieces suitable for topping the rice bowl. Thin slices will allow the sauce to penetrate better and make it easier to eat, compared to thicker cuts like steaks.
Step 4
In a small pan or pot, combine 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp water, 2 Tbsp mirin, and 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide. Stir well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat.
Step 5
Once the sauce begins to simmer, add the dried kelp and the sliced onions. Reduce the heat to low and let it gently simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and the sauce slightly thickens. Remember to remove the kelp before serving.
Step 6
Spoon the warm rice into a serving bowl and generously top it with the simmered onions.
Step 7
Finally, artfully arrange the thinly sliced salmon pieces over the onions to complete your delicious Salmon Rice Bowl! If you prefer, you can drizzle a little extra soy sauce mixture over the top.
