See Celebration Chirashi Sushi with Mizkan Sushisu
You can’t beat Chirashi Sushi for a celebration or home party. It’s a fantastic idea for an impressive party centrepiece, and is so simple as long as you get the rice right, since the key to great sushi is perfect sushi rice. Here’s how to do it: (1) wash the rice, leave to drain for 30 mins; (2) place in a pan with water, at a rice/water ratio of 1:1.2; (3) cover, bring to the boil on a high heat; (4) once boiling, reduce to a low heat, simmer for 12 mins; (5) remove from the heat and leave for 10 mins, lid on. The final step is adding Mizkan Sushisu. Click here for more details on making sushi and sushi rice. Click here for tips from Mizkan.
You can also make a fabulous sushi dish using a cake mould. Just place the rice in the bottom of the mould and layer with salmon fillets, then sandwich in with more rice, finishing with toppings and garnishes.
