Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) sushi rice
- 1 1/4 cups (300ml) water
-
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
- 100g sashimi-grade raw salmon, sliced
- 100g raw sashimi-grade sea bream, sliced
-
1 nori leaf, cut into thin strips (optional)
-
Shiso leaf (optional)
-
Pickled ginger (gari) (optional)
-
Wasabi (optional)
-
Soy sauce (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice in a large bowl of cold water, rubbing gently with your hands. Change the water several times until it runs clear. (You can re-use this water to water your plants or rinse your hair).
If you don't have a rice cooker, drain the rice and place in a saucepan with 1 1/4 cups water. Cover and bring to the boil over medium heat. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat to minimum and cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes, still covered.
In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar and salt over low heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Pour this mixture over the still-warm cooked rice and stir gently with a wooden spatula to incorporate the seasoning. Leave to cool to room temperature.
Make sure your tuna, salmon and sea bream are of sashimi quality, i.e. fresh and suitable for raw consumption. Cut them into thin slices.
Divide the seasoned sushi rice between two large bowls or plates. Arrange the salmon and sea bream slices harmoniously over the rice.
Add a small portion of pickled ginger on the side, and shiso and nori leaves (if used).
Serve the chirashi with wasabi and soy sauce on the side, so that everyone can season to their own taste.
Recipe notes
"Chirashi" means "scattered" in Japanese, referring to the way the ingredients are arranged randomly on the rice, as opposed to the more orderly traditional sushi. This dish is often prepared at home in Japan, as it is quick and easy to make, and allows the use of a variety of fresh ingredients available. It's a very flexible dish that can be adapted to suit tastes and seasons. It is also prepared for celebrations and festivities, notably during the Hinamatsuri (doll festival) in Japan, where it is traditionally eaten to wish young girls good health and prosperity.
