When I was a little girl, my mum used to cook this Gomoku chirashizushi on Hinamatsuri day (ひな祭り), 3rd March. Looks colourful, but these coloured ingredients are optional. You can cook sushi without fish!

Steps

1

[Ingredients and toppings]
Slice boiled prawns into halves.
2

Soak shiitake mushrooms and freeze-dried tofu to reconstitute them. If you have a microwave oven, microwave shiitake mushrooms and water for 3 minutes and leave them 15 minutes at room temperature.
3

Cut a carrot and some freeze-dried tofu into thin strips. Slice shiitake mushrooms. Slice lotus root into quarter circles. Soak the lotus root in vinegared water to remove bitterness. Then drain the vinegared water.
4

Keep 50 mL of the liquid after soaking shiitake mushrooms.
5

Put [*A] in a pot and add carrot, shiitake mushrooms, freeze-dried tofu, lotus roots and deep-fried tofu in the pot. Boil down over medium heat while sometimes mixing.
6

Beat the eggs. Heat a frying pan. Grease it with a few drops oil. Spread the beaten egg over the pan and cook over medium-high heat. Slice the cooked egg into thin strips.
7
