Ingredients for Tekka Don

Method

Directions to Prepare Tekka Don

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice using a wooden spatula. Be careful not to mash the rice.

  3. 3

    Slice the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh raw tuna into thin, even slices.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tekka Don

    In a bowl, place a serving of the seasoned sushi rice. Arrange the sliced tuna on top. Optionally, add a small dollop of wasabi and drizzle with soy sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with a side of nori.
