What you will need: 1½ cup sushi rice
8 oz choy sum
16 oz salmon
2 packs bonito flakes
¼ cup tamari
¼ cup mirin
2 tsp furikake
1 tsp shichimi togarashi
coarse salt
olive oil

Equipment: fine-mesh sieve
2 medium pots
rimmed baking sheet

Recipe Steps 1. Make rice
Preheat oven to 275ºF. Rinse rice in a fine-mesh sieve until water runs clear. Combine rice, 2 cups water and a pinch of salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to low and cook until rice is tender and water absorbed, 15 minutes. Leave covered until ready to serve.

2. Prep choy sum
   Trim thick stems from choy sum and rinse under cold water removing any grit. Dry well. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss choy sum with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt. Spread in an even layer on ⅔ of the rimmed baking sheet.

3. Prep salmon
   Drizzle salmon with 1 teaspoon oil and season with salt. Place on remaining ⅓ of baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the oven and bake until choy sum is wilted and salmon is just cooked through, 14-16 minutes.

4. Make dashi
   Bring 5 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Turn off heat, add bonito flakes and stir, 1 minute. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Return broth to pot. Add tamari and mirin. Leave covered.

5. Finish salmon
   Remove salmon from baking sheet, leaving skin sticking to the sheet. Fluff rice. Reheat dashi over low.

6. Serve
   Divide rice between two deep bowls. Top with salmon and choy sum. Gently pour dashi into the bowl. Sprinkle furikake or shichimi, depending on your preference. Enjoy!
