Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 3-ounce pieces sashimi-grade yellowfin or bluefin tuna
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake
2 teaspoons mirin
4 cups cooked sushi rice

Garnish:

thinly sliced pickled ginger
finely chopped nori seaweed
thinly sliced cooked egg
wasabi paste

Method of Preparation:

1. Bring a 4 quart saucepan of water to a boil. Working with 1 piece of tuna at a time, submerge tuna in water for 40 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer tuna to a plastic bag; add soy sauce, sake, and mirin. Seal; let tuna marinate, turning once, at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. To serve, remove tuna from the bag, reserving marinade, and cut each piece into 6 slices. Place 1 cup rice onto 4 serving bowls; top each serving with 6 slices of tuna. Garnish with ginger, nori, shiso, and thinly sliced omelette. Drizzle with reserved marinade; serve with wasabi.
