Ingredients

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2.5 cups water
• 0.25 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 pound assorted sashimi-grade fish (such as tuna, salmon, and yellowtail)
• 2 sheets nori (seaweed), cut into thin strips
• 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 medium avocado, sliced
• 4 medium radish, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup pickled ginger
• 1 tablespoon wasabi, for serving
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce, for serving
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook evenly.

Step 2

Add the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water to a rice cooker or a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil on the stove, then cover and reduce to a simmer for 18-20 minutes until water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the sashimi-grade fish into bite-sized pieces, keeping each type separate.

Step 6

To assemble the chirashi bowl, place a serving of sushi rice at the bottom of each bowl.

Step 7

Arrange the assorted sashimi, nori strips, cucumber, avocado, radish, and scallions in an aesthetically pleasing manner over the rice.

Step 8

Add a small portion of pickled ginger and a dab of wasabi on the side of each bowl.

Step 9

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.

Step 10

Serve the chirashi bowls with soy sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling, as preferred.
