Instructions
Sprinkle salt over the rice in individual bowls, and pour in enough dashi to cover about ¾ of the rice. Then, add bubu arare, shredded nori seaweed, mitsuba leaves, and wasabi to taste.
Notes
If you are using dashi granules, you might not need to add salt, or you may need to reduce the amount, as they often already contain some.
This dish is not suitable for storage as the rice absorbs the dashi. Only make enough for immediate consumption.
