The Seattle Times - WITH THE RECENT popularity of poke, bibimbap, Buddha bowls and virtually anything in a bowl, we cannot overlook the simple yet luxurious chirashi, a traditional Japanese dish primarily of fish and rice. This artistic rice bowl has it all: It’s sweet, sour, salty, spicy, crunchy, silky and colorful.
If you’re daunted by making nigiri or rolls at home, fear not. Chirashi is relatively easy to make, with no professional sushi skills required. Just pick up the ingredients beforehand (at Uwajimaya or a Japanese market) and seek out quality sashimi, and you are ready to assemble your beautiful bowl.
