INSTRUCTIONS

SUSHI RICE
STEAMED MIZUNA
1. In a large saucepan, combine the sake with 1 cup of water and 2 shiso
leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer. Add the shrimp,
and poach until light pink and the tails are curled, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. For each serving, spread 2 tablespoons sushi rice in a rectangle. Lay 2
shiso leaves on top, and arrange 5 shrimp, tail end up, on the shiso
leaves. Serve with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon wasabi paste.
Sushi Rice: 1. Place the rice in a bowl, and gently rinse with cold water
three to four times. Transfer to a strainer, and let rest about 20 minutes.
2. Heat the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a nonreactive pan over medium heat,
stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside.
3. Place the rice and 1 1/2 cups of water in a saucepan. Simmer, cover, and
cook over very low heat until the rice is tender and the water evaporates,
about 20 minutes. Transfer the rice to a bowl, and toss with the vinegar
mixture.
4. For each serving, spoon a 1/2 cup of rice into a small cylindrical
container lined with plastic wrap. Turn the rice onto a plate, remove the
wrap, and smooth the rice.
Mizuna: In a large pot over high heat, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Place the mizuna in a steamer basket, place in the pot, cover, and steam
until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Add salt
and pepper, mold into twelve squares, and divide among four plates.
