Bafun Uni Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  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. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bafun Uni

    Carefully open the Bafun Uni shell and extract the uni with a spoon. Be gentle to avoid breaking the delicate texture.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a small amount of sushi rice in your hand or on a plate. Gently press the Bafun Uni on top of the rice. Optionally, place a small dab of wasabi on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Bafun Uni with soy sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor.
