Mackerel Onigiri Chazuke

Taken from Restaurant Yukihira's secret menu, Sōma changed the standard Salmon used for the regular Yukihira Onigiri Chazuke and substituted with Mackerel. Using the French cooking technique, poêlée, Sōma created a new take on the classic Japanese dish. The dish creates the feeling of a new sprout emerging from the coldness of winter to welcome in spring. Real Facts: Chazuke (茶漬け, ちゃづけ) or ochazuke (お茶漬け, from o + cha tea + tsuke submerge) is a simple Japanese dish made by pouring green tea, dashi, or hot water over cooked rice, roughly in the same proportion as milk over cereal, usually with savoury toppings.
