SUMMER CHIRASHI ZUSHI



Summer Chirashi Zushi image

You may have ordered a chirashi bowl in your favorite sushi restaurant. This recipe shares some qualities with that dish and is a wonderful way to add the flavors of sushi to your home cooking repertoire. Chirashi means "scattered" in Japanese and refers to the sprinkled and tossed way this dish is plated and served. I've been eating chirashi zushi since I was in a highchair, but this version I've tailored to highlight summer produce. Chirashi zushi can contain a whole plethora of different ingredients, anything from pomegranate seeds to slices of raw sashimi-grade fish. The goal is to find a beautiful, appetizing balance of colors, textures and flavors.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/4 cups medium-grain or short-grain white or haiga rice (450 grams)
2 1/2 cups filtered water (600 milliliters)
6 ounces fresh green beans
1 small bunch broccolini
3 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 to 2 small Japanese or Persian cucumbers
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed or vegetable oil, plus more as needed
1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar (80 milliliters)
3 tablespoons cane sugar
4 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger (35 grams) (about one 4-inch piece) (see Cook's Note)
2 cups green shiso or fresh basil leaves, finely chopped, plus 5 to 7 whole leaves, for garnish
2 to 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
1 sheet nori, optional
1/3 cup ikura

Steps:

  • For the rice: Place the dry rice in a medium bowl and fill the bowl about halfway with cool water. Stir gently with your hand for about 30 seconds, then drain the water completely. Repeat, filling the bowl halfway up again with cool water, gently stirring the rice with your hand for about 30 seconds. Drain again.
  • Combine the measured filtered water and rinsed rice in the bowl of your rice cooker or in a heavy-bottomed 4-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let the rice soak in the water at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. You will not change out the water before cooking, this pre-measured water is what the rice will soak in and then cook in.
  • After soaking, keep the rice in its soaking water. If using a rice cooker, follow the manufacturer's instructions for cooking medium-grain white rice. If cooking on the stovetop, put the pot on the stovetop, uncovered, and bring to a boil over medium heat. This will take about 7 minutes.
  • Cover the pot, lower the heat to the lowest possible setting, and cook without lifting the lid (don't peek) for 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the heat and, without opening the lid, let the rice rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, wet a rice paddle or wooden spoon and gently fluff the rice. Replace the lid and allow the rice to rest for another 5 minutes.
  • For the chirashi: Prepare the green beans and broccolini by bringing a small saucepan of water to a boil over medium heat. Slice off the broccolini tops, creating small florets, and set aside. Add the green beans, broccolini stalks and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the water with a slotted spoon and allow to cool. Cut the green beans on the diagonal into 1-inch-thick slices. Cut the broccolini stalks into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
  • Thinly slice the cucumbers on a mandoline or with a knife into rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Bring the water back to a boil and add the broccolini florets. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from the water and cool. Set aside.
  • Heat a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Make egg ribbons by whisking together the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Strain the eggs through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Spread the oil evenly over the pan with a paper towel and increase the heat to medium. Add a quarter of the beaten egg mixture and spread it over the pan to make a thin crêpe. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, turn off the heat and cook for about 10 seconds. The residual heat and the lid will work together to cook the egg. After 10 seconds, remove the lid and you should find a perfectly set egg.
  • Transfer the crêpe to a cutting board to cool. Repeat with more oil as needed and the eggs to make 4 crêpes. When cooled, cut each in half and stack them. Slice the stack into ribbons about 1/8-inch-by-2-inches. Set aside. If using nori, slice it into strips that are 2 inches long and thinner than the egg ribbons; store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crispy.
  • Make the dressing for the rice by whisking together the vinegar, sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Transfer the freshly cooked hot rice into a large bowl or handai (wooden sushi rice container; if using a handai, be sure to wet it first and give it a light wipe with a clean kitchen towel to prevent the rice grains from sticking to it). Add the vinegar dressing. Toss to combine, moving the rice paddle diagonally to avoid mashing the grains. Add the ginger, finely chopped shiso leaves and sesame seeds to the rice. Mix gently. Transfer the rice to a large platter or leave it in the handai.
  • Garnish the rice with the egg ribbons, green bean slices, cucumbers and broccolini florets and stems. Place the whole green shiso leaves on top. Divide the ikura between the shiso leaves. Sprinkle with the nori strips if using and sesame seeds. Serve immediately (see Cook's Note).

CHIRASHIZUSHI



Chirashizushi image

Chirashizushi, or chirashi sushi, is essentially free-form sushi served in a bowl or shallow vessel. The ingredients cover a bed of seasoned rice and are either neatly grouped together, which is typ-ical at restaurants, or cut into smaller pieces and "scattered" (the meaning of chirashi), giving you a variety of flavors, textures and colors in each bite. This is a common way to eat raw fish at home since it requires a lot less skill and time to make than conventional sushi. But another big part of the appeal for home cooks is that you can top it with pretty much whatever you like or have on hand, including only cooked toppings, such as grilled eel, shrimp, sliced shiitake sim-mered in a dashi-soy mixture, kinshi tamago (shredded egg crepe) or sliced tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), edamame or steamed sliced snow peas. You can also mix raw and cooked ingredients. There are really no rules, although you should aim for a balanced, visually pleasing arrangement.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups sushi rice
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds assorted sushi-grade raw fish (such as tuna, salmon, yellowtail and/or squid), cut into thin slices roughly 2-by-1 inch
1/4 cup salmon roe or 2 tablespoons flying fish roe
8 to 12 thin slices peeled Japanese or English cucumber (cut on the diagonal)
Handful daikon radish sprouts
Handful julienned toasted seaweed (kizami nori)
4 thin slices lemon, optional
4 shiso leaves, optional
Sliced pickled ginger, for serving
Wasabi, for serving
Soy sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the sushi rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water is completely clear. Place the rice and 3 cups water in a large saucepan and let it soak for 30 minutes.
  • Bring the water and rice to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook, covered, until tender, about 20 minutes. Keep covered and remove from the heat; let sit for 10 minutes. (This process will yield about 6 cups cooked rice.)
  • Whisk together the vinegar, sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve. Place the rice in a large bowl and evenly sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the top. While fanning the rice (see Cook's Note), use a rice paddle or wooden spoon to quickly cut in and then gently fold the ingredients together until thoroughly combined and no more steam comes off the rice, about 10 minutes. Cover the rice with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out and set aside until just above room temperature, about 10 minutes more.
  • For the toppings: When the rice is ready, divide it among 4 bowls or shallow vessels. (Alterna-tively, you can assemble the chirashi on 1 large platter.) Top with the fish, roe, cucumber, radish sprouts and seaweed, either in groups or scattered, leaving a small space for the shiso (if using), ginger and wasabi.
  • For serving: Tuck a lemon slice if using along the side of each bowl. Lay a shiso leaf if using on the rice. Place some ginger and a dab of wasabi on each leaf. Serve with soy sauce in 4 very small dishes. You can mix the wasabi into the soy sauce and dip the sliced fish into it as you eat. You can also drizzle the soy-wasabi mixture over the chirashi, although that can make the rice wet and difficult to scoop up.
