My Mother's Chirashi Sushi

I've loved my mother's chirashi sushi since I was a child.
To the replicate my mother's recipe, I added lemon juice (once, I used kabosu citrus) to the sushi vinegar and adjusted the recipe for a refreshing tart flavor.

The sushi vinegar becomes salty if you let it boil for too long. So only heat it enough to dissolve the sugar in residual heat. For 5 servings. Recipe by Kiyosuke

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the dried shiitake in 500 ml of water to rehydrate. Add the kombu to the uncooked rice and cook with the normal amount of water.

  2. 2

    Chop the softened shiitake and other vegetables into 5 mm pieces. The water from the shiitake will be used for stock.

  3. 3

    Add the dashi and the shiitake water to the filling and bring to a boil. Add the sugar, continue to simmer at medium heat and remove any scum that arises.

  4. 4

    Once the mixture has softened a little, add salt, soy sauce and cooking sake (in this order). Simmer on a low heat until there's no liquid left.

  5. 5

    Once the rice is cooked, make the sushi vinegar. Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Combine the vinegar mixture and the chirimen jako in a small saucepan and cook on low heat. Once the sugar begins to dissolve, promptly switch off the heat.

  6. 6

    Dissolve the sugar in residual heat, pour evenly over the hot rice, and stir the rice with a cut-and-fold motion while fanning.

  7. 7

    Once the sushi rice has cooled, add the drained filling and mix.

  8. 8

    Mix the eggs and shiro dashi to make thin omelets and julienne (kinshi tamago). Serve the sushi, garnish with kinshi tamago and shiso leaves, and it's done!
