How to make Chirashi Sushi (Chirashizushi)

author Posted by: kirin on date Jan 24th, 2012 | filed Filed under: Japanese foods

Have you wondered if you can’t make sushi at home? Yes, you can. There are chirashi type, roll type, and pressed type of sushi. Edomaezushi like this is not usually made at home.

Today, I’ll share with you how to make chirashizushi, thanks to Chika’s collaboration, as always. (Chika is my good friend and she helps me write most of the food posts.)

I’d try to make use of limited tools as often as possible instead of enjoying a collection of various tools…well I totally feel familiar with the Ugandan woman’s comment at 10:15. ^ ^;;
