Technique to learn

Cold Mix Assembly

Layering hot cooked rice with cold seasoned proteins and fresh raw herbs preserves texture contrast while releasing herb aromatics.

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, gochugaru, tamari, grated garlic, and sesame oil. Mix with a fork to break into flakes.

Step 2: Divide warm short-grain white rice evenly among four serving bowls.

Step 3: Arrange a handful of julienned cucumber on one side of each rice bowl.

Step 4: Mound the seasoned tuna mixture generously in the center of each bowl.

Step 5: Top each bowl with a large cluster of shredded perilla leaves.

Step 6: Drizzle halal mayonnaise over the tuna and garnish, then serve immediately to mix before eating.

Cooking tips

Perilla leaves offer an herbal, minty-anise flavor that cuts through the richness of the tuna and mayonnaise.
Warm rice helps release the aromatic oils of the shredded perilla leaves when served.
