Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook in a rice cooker or pot with 130ml water for about 20 minutes. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and mix with a little rice vinegar and sugar to taste.

  2. 2

    Slice the Chu-toro

    Using a sharp knife, slice the chu-toro into thin pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, present the slices of chu-toro, accompanied by a small bowl of soy sauce, a dollop of wasabi, and some pickled ginger on the side. You can also serve it over a small mound of sushi rice topped with a slice of nori.
