Chirashi Recipe

Chirashi Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare 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 cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice using a wooden spatula. Spread the rice onto a tray to cool to room temperature.

   Prepare the Toppings

   Slice the masu, kanpachi, and avocado. For the bluefin otoro, finely chop it into a tartare. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and chop the negi.

   Assemble the Chirashi

   In a bowl, place a generous scoop of the seasoned sushi rice. Arrange the fish sashimi, otoro tartare, ikura, cucumber, avocado, shiso leaves, and negi on top of the rice.
