instructions
    1

    Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear; this helps to remove excess starch.

    2

    Combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker, or in a pot on the stove, and bring to a boil.

    3

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

    4

    While the rice is cooking, prepare the seafood. Dice the sushi-grade tuna and salmon into bite-sized pieces, and if using raw shrimp, you can leave them whole or chop them depending on your preference.

    5

    Once the rice is done, remove it from heat and let it sit with the lid on for another 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork when ready.

    6

    To assemble the kaisen-don, place a generous scoop of rice in a bowl.

    7

    Artfully arrange the diced tuna, salmon, and shrimp on top of the rice.

    8

    Tear or cut the seaweed sheets and sprinkle them over the seafood.

    9

    Drizzle soy sauce over the bowl and add wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.

    10

    Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
