Chirashi sushi, meaning scattered sushi is a style of sushi where the
topping is placed in a bowl over a bed of rice. Commonly, nine toppings are
used, however you can certainly use how ever many are available to you. Follow
the instructions as though you were making sashimi and simply place the pieces
on top of the bed of rice. If you can, find a nice Japanese bowl, it will
greatly enhance the presentation, but is not necessary. Depending on the size of
the bowl, fill it approximately half full of rice, keeping it well aerated.
Place the garnishes inside towards the edges and then the ingredients of your
choice. Care is given to the presentation; placing the items
just so, adding shiso,
daikon, or whatever garnishes are chosen, and making the
dish as attractive as possible. Think ‘work of art’ and you will get the idea.
But don’t hesitate to use your imagination with the design, and to dig in when
served. The first experience when served chirashi sushi is the presentation, the
second is the eating. Looking for sushi-grade fish and other seafood online?
