1 packet chirashi sushi rice mix

500g cooked rice

omelette strips

Method

Cook the rice: Start by cooking 500g of Japanese rice as per the cooking instructions on the packet of the rice. There is no need to make this sushi rice as we will add the rice vinegar later.

Add the chirashi sushi rice mix: Open the chirashi sushi rice mix pack and mix in one sachet with the warm rice using a ride paddle or large spoon.

Cool and add any garnish: Once the rice has cooled, place it onto a serving plate or bowl and add any additional garnishes that come with the rice mix.

Add optional flavour and colour: Your chirashi sushi is now ready to be served, but you may want to add some omelette strips, sliced cucumber, or any other suitable sushi ingredients to give it more colour and flavour. Chirashi sushi has a huge amount of regional varieties so feel free to add your own ingredients. Some popular items to try are avocado, egg, mushrooms, fish or even chicken.
