1. Fish with cream cheese.
One of the most popular fillings for un gunkans is fresh, boiled, smoked, salted or even fried fish on a pillow of rice and cream cheese. It is best to use fresh salmon sliced into small pieces and cheese, such as Kaymak.
A layer of cheese is placed on top of the rice, and then cooked or raw minced fish, selected by the selected method.
2. Red caviar, tobiko caviar
Often, gunkans are cooked with caviar. It can be red, raspberry, green or even black caviar. Most of them can be purchased at theme stores, which sell everything for sushi and rolls.
If red caviar was chosen for the filling, then between it and rice, you can also add a little creamy and curd cheese if desired.
3. Fried Chicken and Chives
Fried chicken and finely chopped green onions go very well with rice and seaweed. To prevent the filling from becoming very dry, it should be mixed with spicy sauce, which can also be prepared at home. It’s best to choose chicken breast for gunkans. Before frying, it is recommended to beat the meat slightly.
4. Squid with spicy Japanese mayonnaise.
The main thing in this case is not to digest squids, otherwise they can only ruin the dish.
