Rice bowl with tofu and marbled beef
1 serving
40 minutes
Rice bowl from Oleg Shin, chef of Coba Hand Roll Bar, looks like disassembled sushi, and the principle of its assembly demonstrates a lot in the Pan-Asian tradition. First of all, typical Asian handling of meat, which is cut into thin slices and literally immersed in boiling water for a couple of seconds, preserving a semi-raw texture. Secondly, handling of tofu, which, before getting into a bowl with boiled rice, is lightly marinated in a complex broth of apples , mirin and seaweed, acquiring a marine, distinctly "seafood" flavor. Spinach greens and shiitake mushroom caps are blanched in the same broth. And on top of all this spicy-sweet-sour broth, a poached egg is placed so that when opened, it envelops both the meat and vegetables with a warm, runny yolk.
