Preparing Your Own Chirashi Bowl

If you’re a big fan of the Poke bowl, then the chirashi bowl will equally satisfy your food cravings. Chirashi is short for chirashizushi which in Japanese translates to scattered sushi. It’s a curated bowl of raw fish, vegetables and rice, sometimes served with Japanese mayo and always served with a special Chirashi sauce.

This dish is easy to make on your own and is a great way to upgrade your sushi game – think of a sushi salad but with extra sauce and more options!
