Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package directions or using a rice cooker.
~20 min - 2
While the rice is cooking, prepare the broth. In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste and dashi granules with a splash of the hot water to form a smooth paste. Then, pour in the remaining hot water and whisk to combine.
~3 min - 3
Shred or flake the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
~2 min - 4
Thinly slice the nori sheets into thin strips.
~1 min - 5
Thinly slice the scallions.
~1 min - 6
To assemble, divide the cooked rice between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the flaked smoked salmon.

Gently reheat the miso broth if needed, but do not boil it. Pour the warm miso broth over the rice and salmon in each bowl.
~5 min - 8
Garnish with the sliced nori, scallions, and optional toasted sesame seeds.
Tips
- Avoid boiling the miso broth, as high heat can diminish its delicate flavor and aroma. Gently warm it just before serving.
- You can use leftover cooked salmon if smoked salmon is unavailable. Ensure it's well-seasoned to compensate for the lack of smoky flavor.
