Main Ingredients- 50g fresh salmon fillet
- 1/3 cucumber
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp cooking sake (or mirin)
- 1 tsp black sesame seeds
- 2 bowls cooked rice
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
Sushi Vinegar Dressing- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the salmon to remove any fishy odor and enhance its flavor. Sprinkle 1 tsp of cooking sake, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of salt evenly over the 50g salmon fillet and let it marinate for about 10 minutes. This step helps eliminate any unpleasant smell and ensures a more tender texture.
Step 2
Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then slice it into your desired shape (e.g., thin rounds). Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the sliced cucumber and let it sit for about 5 minutes to draw out moisture. Squeezing out the excess water from the salted cucumber is crucial to prevent the sushi rice from becoming soggy and to maintain its crispiness.
Step 3
Prepare 2 bowls of warm, freshly cooked rice. While the rice is still hot and steaming, add the sushi vinegar ingredients: 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix with a rice paddle, being careful not to mash the rice grains, to create the sushi rice base. It’s best to mix when the rice is steaming but not scalding hot, so the vinegar aroma doesn’t dissipate too quickly.
Step 4
Add 1 tsp of black sesame seeds to the sushi rice base and mix lightly. Ensure the black sesame seeds are evenly distributed among the rice grains for both visual appeal and added nutrition.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the scrambled eggs. Heat 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack in 2 eggs and quickly whisk them with chopsticks to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Avoid overcooking; remove them from the pan while still moist and set aside to cool.
Step 6
Add the marinated salmon to the pan and cook, breaking it up as it cooks. As the salmon cooks, it will naturally flake. Use a fork or spatula to gently crumble it while cooking, making it easier to arrange on top of the rice. Flip occasionally to ensure it’s evenly browned.
Step 7
It’s time to assemble the bowl. Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly at the bottom of your serving bowl. Arrange the squeezed cucumber slices generously over the rice. The crisp cucumber will beautifully complement the rich flavor of the salmon.
Step 8
Next, artfully place the prepared scrambled eggs around the edges of the rice and cucumber. This adds a lovely visual appeal and a soft texture to the dish.
Step 9
Finally, place the flaked, cooked salmon in the center of the bowl. Your nutritious Salmon Bibim Sushi Bowl is now complete! Enjoy the harmonious blend of fresh ingredients and the delightful flavors that will fill your mouth.
