Claypot Rice with Fish and Onsen egg

 Ingredients:

Dashi stock

Fish Fillet

Rice Crispies

Eggs (preferably Italian eggs)

How to Make:

Dashi stock:

1. wipe Konbu with a set cloth, then soak it in a pot of water for at least 30 minutes.

2. Boil the above pot of water. Once you see air bubbles around the konbu, remove them. Then add a big bunch of bonito flakes. Once the water is boiled, turn off heat and let bonito flakes all dropped to the bottom of the pot. 

3. Drain bonito flakes away and you will have a clear dashi soup stock!

Claypot Rice:

1. Wash rice under tap until the water is no more milky but clear.

2. Put rice to the claypot. For every 1 cup of rice, add 1 cup + a little bit more dashi stock into the claypot. Soak the rice in the dashi stock for at least 30 minutes.

3. Put rice pot to stove and heat it up. Once water is boiled, put the fish fillet on top of the rice and cover the pot and turn heat to medium to medium low and cook for 15 minutes.

4. Then switch off heat and keep it covered and do not open it for at least 15-30 minutes. Then the rice is ready to be served by mixing fish fillet with the rice and adding rice crispies on top.

* Time when you should start cook the rice as the claypot cannot keep the rice forever hot. 

Onsen Egg:

cook eggs in slow cooker at 65'C for 30 minutes. Once done, remove eggs from water and keep in a bowl. Crack it on top of rice. Yum!
