- 10 Shrimp (black tiger)

- 120 ml Vinegar (for the sushi vinegar)
- 3 tbsp Sugar (for the sushi vinegar)
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt (for the sushi vinegar)
- 1 tsp Kombu tea(for the sushi vinegar)
- 3 Eggs
- 4 tbsp White toasted sesame seeds
- 1 few Snow peas
- Cook the rice to a somewhat firm texture (to do this, just use a little less water than usual) in a rice cooker.
- Add a little salt, sugar, and whatever seasonings you like (suggestions are mirin or dashi stock) to the egg, and cook thin omelets.
- Julienne to make shredded eggs, and set aside.
- Discard the heads and tails of the shrimp, blanch in salt water, chop up, and set aside.
- Blanch the snow peas in salt water, cut diagonally (like in the picture), and set aside.
- Simmer the mixed ingredients Reconstitute the dried shiitake mushrooms and koya dofu by soaking in lukewarm water, then drain.
- Cut the shiitake mushrooms, koya dofu, carrot, and bamboo shoot into small pieces, and set aside.
- The bamboo shoots should be cut a little larger than the other items.
- Then put all of these ingredients into a pot, add all of the seasonings and broth ingredients marked with , and simmer until most of the liquid is gone.
- Put the four ingredients marked with into a microwave-safe bowl, microwave for about 30 seconds, and stir.
- (For the Sushi vinegar) Turn out the freshly steamed, hot rice into a hangiri (wooden sushi tub), and add sushi vinegar in 3-4 batches while fanning the rice with a hand-held fan.
- Mixing the rice and vinegar with a spatula, using a cutting motion.
- Add the simmered ingredients from Step 2 to the sushi rice from Step 3, toasted white sesame seeds, and mix well.
- When it's evenly mixed, scatter on the julienned egg crepe, add the chopped shrimp and snow peas on top, and it's done.
- Add further toppings as you like.
- Garnish with nanohana, slices of raw fish, etc., to taste.
- I prefer my sushi rice a little on the tart side.
- If you don't like it so tart, just cut back on the amount of vinegar a bit.
