Chirashi Don Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once done, let it sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the rice cools, slice the fresh fish into bite-sized pieces. Julienne the cucumber and cut the nori sheet into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Chirashi Don

    In a bowl, place a generous serving of sushi rice. Arrange the sliced fish, cucumber, nori strips, and radish sprouts on top. Drizzle with soy sauce, and serve with wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
