Luxurious Sea Urchin Rice Bowl (Uni Don)

Experience the ocean's ice cream with this high-end sea urchin rice bowl. Creamy, sweet uni rests on perfectly seasoned sushi rice, elegantly garnished with black caviar.

Ingredients

• 200 g fresh sea urchin (uni) meat
• 1 bowl steamed Thai fragrant rice
• 1 tbsp sushi vinegar
• 2 sheets roasted seaweed
• 1 tsp black caviar
• 1 tbsp wasabi paste
• 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• optional fresh mint leaves
• optional lemon slice

Instructions

1. 1Season the steamed rice

   

   Take freshly steamed Thai fragrant rice and add a portion of sushi vinegar. Using a spoon, gently stir the rice and vinegar together until they are evenly combined, ensuring the grains remain distinct.

   Tip: Use a gentle folding motion to avoid mashing the rice grains while mixing.
2. 2Layer with seaweed

   

   Prepare strips of roasted seaweed and carefully arrange them over the surface of the seasoned rice. This adds a savory depth and textural contrast to the rice bowl.

   Tip: Ensure the seaweed strips are placed evenly to provide a uniform base for the sea urchin.
3. 3Add fresh sea urchin

   

   Take clean, raw orange sea urchin meat and use a spoon to scoop it out. Gently spread the sea urchin evenly over the prepared layer of seaweed and rice.

   Tip: Handle the delicate sea urchin with care to keep its shape intact during plating.
4. 4Garnish with caviar

   

   Add a refined final touch by placing a small, precise spoonful of black caviar onto the center of the arranged sea urchin.

   Tip: Place the caviar gently to maintain the visual appeal of the dish.
5. 5Prepare the dipping sauce

   

   In a small dipping dish, place a mound of bright green wasabi paste. Pour dark soy sauce over the wasabi to create the accompaniment for the rice bowl.

   Tip: Mix the wasabi and soy sauce to your desired level of spiciness before serving with the dish.
