I'll walk you through all the fresh and easy ingredients to make a classic chirashi bowl at home and it's faster than you think. Use as many or few of the toppings as you like. Let's go!
- Brown Rice
- Rice Vinegar
- Cucumbers
- Sugar
- Shiitake Mushroom
- Mirin
- Eggs
- Green Tea
Once you've cooked your rice, mix vinegar, sugar and salt together and sprinkle over rice. Stir gently and leave to cool until ready to serve. *Note, seasoning the rice is optional.
Combine sliced cucumber, vinegar and sugar and let sit until ready to use, up to 4 hours. Drain cucumber before adding to dish.
Toss all ingredients with mushrooms and add to a small non-stick pan. Cook gently on medium low until the liquid is almost evaporated. Let cool, then use for topping dish.
Beat eggs well with sugar and salt. Preheat a large pan on medium, oil very lightly and then pour in eggs to make a paper thin omelet. Once cooked through (only about 1 min.), cool slightly.
Fill the bottom half of your bowl with 1 cup of rice. Then artfully arrange your chosen ingredients on top and gently spoon a few teaspoon of dressing over any unseasoned toppings and enjoy.
