Instructions

Make miso soup

  • Heat the dashi in a pot. Bring to boil then maintain at a low simmer.
  • If you have root vegetables (like daikon radish) add to the pot. Let it cook for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 min, add tofu, leafy vegetables, and mushrooms. Let cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add miso paste, green onion, and seaweed. Stir well until the paste is dissolved, then taste and adjust your broth preference by adding miso or water. Turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid until you are ready to serve.

Grill the shishito peppers

  • Heat a cast iron pan on med-high, then add oil.
  • Grill the shishito peppers on the cast iron pan until slightly blackened. Once blackened, add a squeeze of lemon, salt, and pepper. Remove the peppers from the pan and set aside.

Assemble the chirashi

  • Use your sharpest knife to slice the maguro and sake about 1/4 inch thick. Clean the blade and slice up the cucumber.
  • Put a scoop of rice on the bottom of your bowl, then arrange the other ingredients on top.

Assemble the shime saba

  • Remove the fish from the package and drain excess vinegar. Plate the fish then put the dijon mustard and wasabi on the side for dipping.
