sake

White wine adds acidity while being lower in calories.

dashi broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with soy sauce

Vegetable broth maintains flavor while being plant-based.

pickled vegetables

🥗Healthier: fresh vegetables

💰Cheaper: cucumbers

Fresh vegetables provide crunch and are more cost-effective.

tofu

🥗Healthier: edamame

💰Cheaper: canned chickpeas

Canned chickpeas add protein at a lower cost.

Prepare 1 cup of cooked rice in a bowl as the base.

If using dashi, heat 1 cup of dashi with 1 tsp. mirin, 1 tsp. soy sauce, and ⅛ tsp. salt in a small saucepan until warm.

Pour the dashi mixture over the cooked rice.

Top with 1 tsp. shredded nori, ¼ tsp. roasted white sesame seeds, and 2 strands of mitsuba cut into small pieces.

Add a dollop of wasabi for spice, if desired.

If using green tea, steep 2 tsp. of Japanese green tea leaves in 1 cup of hot water and pour over the rice instead of dashi.
