Ingredients for Chu Medium – Toro Fatty

Method

Directions for Chu Medium – Toro Fatty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, usually using a 1:1 ratio of rice to water. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before seasoning with a mixture of soy sauce and mirin.

  2. 2

    Slice the Toro

    Using a sharp knife, slice the toro into thin strips, about 1 cm thick. Arrange the slices on a plate.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Nori

    Cut the nori sheet into quarters, ensuring they are manageable for serving. You can lightly toast the nori over an open flame for a few seconds to enhance the flavor.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a small plate, place a spoonful of sushi rice, top it with a slice of toro, and add a small dollop of wasabi. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and finely chopped chives. Serve with pickled ginger on the side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately, allowing the diner to enjoy the combination of flavors. Encourage them to dip the toro in soy sauce as desired.
