• Basil

• Mushroom

• Green onion

• Garlic

• Optionally, Pickled chilli peppers, or dried flakes, aiming for low heat.

• Optionally, Kombu powder or Dashi

Steps

Cut the salmon into bite sized cubes, and marinate it with salt and rice alcohol for at least 10 minutes. Fry it on high heat for a few minutes until cooked through, then set aside.

Cut the mushroom into cubes, then fry it (in the same oil) together with minced garlic, the white part of a green onion, and the chilli peppers.

Cut the tomato in halves or quarters, and chop the basil a bit. Add everything back to the pan and lower the heat. Season with a tablespoon of soy sauce, the kombu, and salt and sugar to taste. Cook for no more than 2 minutes, then serve with white rice.
