Method

Chilean Sea Bass

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sea Bass

    Season the Chilean sea bass fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sea Bass

    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Thai Basil Sushi Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine sushi rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture and fresh Thai basil leaves. Allow to cool slightly.

Fresh Vegetables

    Julienne the cucumber and carrot, and thinly slice the bell pepper. Set aside for serving.

House Made Dashi Broth

Crispy Carrots
