Step:

  1. When you used only sprigs of Watercress for a dish, do not waste the thick stems. Those stems are perfect for this dish. Naturally you can use sprigs as well. Cut to 3 to 4cm length.

  2. If sliced onion is too peppery, rinse with cold water and drain well.

  3. Place Watercress and Onion in a bowl, add ‘Okaka / Katsuobushi’ and mix well to combine. Season with Soy Sauce.

  4. Place some Toasted Sesame Seeds and Nori on top and enjoy.
