Ingredients
- ½ cup rice ½ cup uncooked, giving approx 2 cups cooked - medium grain works well
- ¼ red onion optional
- ¼ cucumber (¼ cucumber is approx 2in/5cm piece)
- 1 carrot small (approx ¼cup julienne/coarsely grated)
- 1 cup lettuce leaves mixed greens, romaine or red leaf lettuce, approx 2 large leaves
- ¼ lb sashimi-grade tuna or use salmon or a mix
- 2 tablespoon chogochujang sauce or more/less to taste (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds or more to taste
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the packet instructions. For most medium grain or long grain (not Jasmine), you rinse the rice then add twice as much cold water as uncooked rice by volume in a small pan and cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer approximately 10 minutes until water has absorbed. Allow to cool a little so it's warm rather than hot.
- While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the onion and cut the cucumber and carrot julienne/in batons (you can also coarsely grate the carrot or cut the cucumber in thin half slices). Finely shred the lettuce. Cut the fish into relatively thin slices across the grain. Put the fish back in the fridge if not using immediately.
- Put some rice in the bottom of two bowls. Typically you might scatter over the lettuce then add piles of onion, carrot and cucumber with the sashimi fish on top in the middle. You can also mix the vegetables but still place fish on top. Add some chogochujang sauce to each bowl and sprinkle over some sesame seeds. Mix as you eat and add a little more sauce if you need.

Notes
You can make your own chogochujang sauce by mixing 1tbsp/15ml each of gochujang paste, sugar and vinegar (either white vinegar or rice vinegar) along with a small clove of garlic, crushed or grated. Mix all together until smooth.
As well as lettuce, you can add in some other leaves/greens such as perilla leaves.
