When I was young and single, I made this rice bowl dish very often. Because it was easy, quick, cheap, yummy and nutritious. You don’t need to cook Sardines because you use Canned Sardines. Why don’t you try this rice bowl once? I am quite certain you will enjoy this dish.

Thank you, John, for your message. I have never used canned herring in my life. I assume they taste like Sardines. I would love to hear about the result.

Hi Tia. I am so glad you enjoyed this dish. I always stock Canned Sardines, so I can prepare a meal like this one quickly and easily. When I don’t have cooked rice, I sometimes eat this sardines with spaghetti.

Loved this – quick, easy and not much energy use for cooking. I used greens instead of Nori sheet but still tasted good. Thank you!

Kate, thank you for trying this recipe. Canned fish such as Sardines and Mackerel don’t need to be cooked. You might be interested in ‘Gochujang Mackerel Rice Bowl’ as well. https://www.hirokoliston.com/gochujang-mackerel-rice-bowl/

This was really delicious! I used furikake instead of nori and sesame seeds. Definitely a keeper.

I am so glad you tried this dish and enjoyed it. You know Canned Tuna is so popular, but not many people are interested in Canned Sardines. Sardines’ fine bones bother some people, but it is not an issue for Canned Sardines.
