  1. Make the dashi: soak the kombu in the water for 10 minutes, bring to a gentle simmer, then lift it out.

  2. Start the rice (or set the rice cooker timer the night before).

  3. Lightly salt the salmon and grill for 4 minutes on each side.

  4. Heat the dashi with the diced tofu and wakame, then take it off the heat, stir in the miso and add the spring onion.

  5. Blanch the spinach for 1 minute, squeeze dry and dress with a few drops of soy sauce and sesame. Serve everything together.
