Japanese Rice Bowl


I had a dish similar to this in the tom bradley international airport while traveling to korea this summer. i loved it so much that i searched the web to find something that tasted like it. This is really close. you have to top it with the red pickled ginger though, that is what really makes this dish!!

In a 4-quart pan , bring 3 cups water to a boil.
Add rice and salt.
Cover and reduce heat to simmer , then cook until almost tender , 15 minutes.
