Osaka Oshi Zushi

Method

Osaka Oshi Zushi

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or pot with 2 cups of water. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season Sushi Rice

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm sushi rice. Allow to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Layer Sushi

    In a sushi mold or a square container, spread a layer of sushi rice (about half the rice). Press it down firmly. Next, layer the fresh sashimi on top of the rice.

  4. 4

    Finish Sushi

    Add another layer of sushi rice on top of the sashimi, pressing down to compact. Cover with a sheet of nori and press down again. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then cut into squares.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Osaka Oshi Zushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.

Miso Soup

  1. 6

    Prepare Dashi Stock

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of dashi stock to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 7

    Mix Miso Paste

    In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons of miso paste with a small amount of hot dashi to dissolve it, then add it back to the pot.

  3. 8

    Add Tofu and Seaweed

    Add the cubed tofu and wakame seaweed to the soup. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

  4. 9

    Finish with Green Onions

    Just before serving, stir in the sliced green onions and remove from heat.

  5. 10

    Serve

    Serve hot as a side for the Osaka Oshi Zushi.
