Rika's TOKYO CUISINE: The Classic Nori Bento

In this episode, Chef Rika will be making nori bento, a beloved home-cooked comfort food. Rice is covered with bonito flakes and sprinkled with soy sauce, then topped with a layer of torn nori seaweed, then covered with another thin layer of rice, to make a beautifully many-layered result. On top of the rice and nori seaweed, we'll be adding two quick and easy old-fashioned bento staples: grilled salmon and tamagoyaki rolled omelet. We'll also be preparing kenchin soup with plenty of delicious vegetables. With granulated dashi, this soup is quick and easy to make!
