Method

Prepare Furikake Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in soy sauce, mirin, and furikake. Add chopped scallions and mix well.

Prepare Lomi Tomato

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss gently to mix and set aside.

Cook Butterfish

  1. 4

    Sear the Fish

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season butterfish fillets with salt and black pepper. Add fish to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
