Farmhouse Recipe Chicken Chirashi Sushi
- 1000 grams White rice
- 5 cm Kombu
- 1 Aburaage
- 100 ml Sushi vinegar (*see below)
- 200 grams Chicken thigh meat
- 100 grams Burdock root
- 50 grams Carrot
- 50 grams Shiitake mushrooms
- 1 Green beans (or snow peas)
- 1 Shredded nori seaweed
- 150 ml Water
- 4 tbsp All-purpose dashi soy sauce (*see below)
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tsp Katakuriko
- Scrub the dirt off the burdock root, and shave into thin small pieces.
- Remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms and slice thinly.
- Shred the carrot.
- Cut the chicken into small bite sized pieces.
- Pour boiling water over the thin aburaage to remove the excess oil, cut in half and then cut into 7 mm strips.
- Put the A ingredients, burdock root, carrot and chicken in a pot and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the shiitake mushrooms and aburaage, and simmer until there is little liquid left in the pot.
- Let cool.
- Mix the kinshi tamago (shredded omelette) ingredients.
- Spread oil in a pan thinly and make very thin omelette (usuyaki tamago).
- Shred finely.
- Boil the green beans in salted water and slice thinly.
- Cook the rice using just a bit less water than usual with a piece of konbu seaweed.
- When the rice is cooked, remove the konbu seaweed.
- Mix the rice while it's still hot with sushi vinegar using a cut-and-fold motion and fanning with a handheld fan.
- Add the Step 3 ingredients and mix in.
- The key is to fan the rice to cool down rapidly, and to not mash the rice grains as you mix.
- Add the shredded omelette and green beans on top and it's done.
- Top with shredded nori seaweed just before eating.
- Homemade sushi vinegar: It's very handy to have this on hand.
- You can use this all-purpose soy sauce to make soba noodle sauce, mentsuyu noodle sauce, nametake (marinated enoki mushrooms), simmered dishes, egg rice bowls and so on in no time.
