Traditional Japanese Christmas - Chirashi Sushi
2 Japanese rice cups (=360ml) short grain premium Japanese rice
1 packet Chirashi Sushi Mix
Kinshi Tamago (Shredded egg crepe garnish)
Ikura (salmon roe)
Handful of blanched snow peas
Kizami Nori (Shredded nori sheet)
Cook 2 cups of Japanese rice
Place warm cooked rice in a large bowl (I use hangiri, a wooden flat bowl, for sushi). Add one packet of Chirashi Sushi Mix while the rice is hot.
Fold everything together with the rice. Instead of “mixing”, you need to slice through rice using a rice paddle to separate the grains.
Serve in a bowl or plate and garnish with Kinshi Tamago, ikura, and snow pea. You can put any topping you like, such as your favorite sashimi.
Place shredded nori sheet on top right before you serve (otherwise it they will wilt quickly).
