Black rice adds a delicious nutty texture to this beautiful monochrome bowl, while the miso dressing brings a rich umami note.
Ingredients
White miso dressing
Method
Main
1.Place rice, 1 litre water and 1 tsp sea salt in a saucepan and soak for 1 hour. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook without uncovering for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand covered for 10 minutes, then stir in soy sauce, mirin, vinegar and sesame seeds.
2.For white miso dressing, whisk miso, vinegar and lemon juice in a bowl to combine, then whisk in oils, ginger and garlic. Thin with a little water if necessary to achieve a drizzling consistency.
3.Divide warm rice among serving bowls, top with kingfish, cabbage, black fungus and enoki mushrooms, drizzle generously with miso dressing, scatter with extra sesame seeds and spring onion, and serve.
Black rice – not to be confused with sticky black rice – is available from select delicatessens.
