Method

  • Step 1

    Soak the rice in cold water, swirl around with your hand to remove the starch, tip out the water once it becomes milky and repeat the process until the water is almost clear then rinse in a sieve.

  • Step 2

    Add the washed rice to the cooking pot along with the water, cooking sake, and kombu if using. Secure pressure lid and turn the vent to the SEAL position. Select PRESSURE, set the temperature to LO and time to 8 minutes. Select START/STOP to run the cooking programme. Manually quick release the pressure at the end of the cooking time.

  • Step 3

    Whilst the rice is cooking heat the rice vinegar, mirin, sugar, and sea salt in a pan until it almost comes to a simmer.

  • Step 4

    Add the rice seasoning to the rice and stir until combined. Remove rice and leave it to cool completely. Give it a stir every now and then to speed up the cooling process.

  • Step 5

    Toss the diced tuna with the dressing ingredients and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour but no longer.

  • Step 6

    Serve rice with marinated tuna and toppings.

    Notes:

    The rice can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Sushi-grade salmon can also be used instead of tuna.
