  • Meanwhile, wash the rice thoroughly, then place in a saucepan with 3 cups water. Boil until craters appear, then cover, turn the heat off and stand for 30 minutes. Fold in the sushi seasoning.
  • Spoon the rice into bowls, carve the steak and arrange on top, then finish with daikon, kimchi, sesame seed, shallots and coriander.
