Sea Squirt Rice Bowl

20240312 #breakfastdiary 1000, 4°C/cloudy, 20 min/exercise (R) I usually find that mixing something into rice (rice especially) pushes the texture toward rice cake somehow (which has nothing to do with how much I love rice cakes), so rather than mixing things in, I'd rather drape or lay them over the rice — which is why today's breakfast is called a #SeaSquirtRiceBowl, not sea-squirt bibimbap. The best way to prep sea squirt is to buy it already prepped. Rinse it briefly under running water — just enough not to wash away the sea breeze it's holding onto — then toss gently with a little salt, toasted sesame salt, and sesame oil. Lay the prepped sea squirt and chives over freshly cooked rice, then tear and crumble in a sheet of seasoned seaweed. Finish with sesame oil and sesame seeds before eating~ Kids, step aside — this one's strictly for the grown-ups.
