1

Rinse the rice (sushi rice or short-grain rice) in cold water and drain. Place in a medium-sized pot along with 625ml of water, 1 tablespoon (14ml) of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of soya sauce, sesame oil and kombu on top. Place the lid on top and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for approx. 15-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Set aside and keep warm.

2

Quarter the shiitake mushrooms. In a small pot, bring the mushrooms, sugar, 125ml of soya sauce, 125ml of vinegar and 250ml of water to a simmer over a medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved, approx. 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a sterilised jar. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

3

Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel. Slice the tofu into 2cm cubes. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick pan over a medium-high heat. Add the tofu and fry on either side for approx. 2-3 minutes or until golden and crisp on both sides. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon ((14ml) of soya sauce, Marmite and honey and stir until combined. Lower the heat and stir in the Marmite sauce. Cook for approx. 2 minutes or until the sauce becomes thick and glossy and coats the tofu. Add in the nigella seeds and stir to coat.

4

Finely slice the radish and cucumber. Blanch the edamame beans.

5

Divide the rice between four bowls and top with the tofu, pickled shiitake, edamame beans, finely sliced radish, cucumber and pickled ginger.
