Ingredients
- 202.3 g Beef Tongue (thinly sliced, yakiniku-cut)
- 122.6 g Barley-enriched White Rice (cooked)
- 204.4 g Spinach (blanched and seasoned with soy)
- 102.2 g Sweet Potato (steamed, for side)
- 3.6 g Toasted Sesame Oil (for finishing)
Method
- 01Prepare the beef tongue: Ensure it is sliced very thin, about 3mm. Season generously with sea salt and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- 02Cook the rice: Prepare a mix of 70% short-grain white rice and 30% pearled barley. Steam until fluffy.
- 03Prepare the sides: Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds, refresh in ice water, squeeze dry, and toss with a drop of soy sauce and sesame oil. Steam the sweet potato until tender.
- 04Grill the beef: Heat a cast-iron grill pan or charcoal grill to high heat. Sear the tongue slices rapidly, about 45-60 seconds per side, until the fat renders and the edges become crisp and slightly charred.
- 05Plating: Place a generous mound of the barley-rice in a bowl. Arrange the hot, salted beef slices alongside, garnished with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Serve with the seasoned spinach, steamed sweet potato, and a side of pickled daikon for crunch and acidity.
