RECIPE: Vegan Chirashizushi (Rice Bowl)
Chirashizushi, or chirashi sushi, translates to “scattered sushi” and is often served on special occasions in Japan including New Year’s Day. It’s typically made with a bowl of sushi rice topped with sashimi but variations include different types of proteins such as tofu and any combination of fresh seasonal vegetables.
