Chirashi” means to sprinkle. Chirashi zushi is a type of sushi that includes eggs, prawns, ham and more which is then sprinkled on top of the sushi rice. It’s beautifully decorated, so it’s a popular food for “hanami” (flower viewing parties) and “hinamatsuri” (The Girls Doll Festival). Preparing sushi rice requires a delicate touch. This recipe will use a commercially available sushi mix to help make the process easier for you.
