Many sushi lovers love making them at home. But it also happens that you don't want to mess with rice and seafood. Then you can quickly and effortlessly prepare "lazy sushi", or chirashi sushi.
Chirashi sushi is a real find for lovers of healthy eating. They do not have to use white rice, which means they can make a dish with a low glycemic index. For people who care about their figure, it is very convenient. For chirashi, you can choose from a large number of fillers - vegetables, shrimp, fish, and so on.
Option 1. Serves 4: a cup of brown rice, fresh tomatoes - 450 g, soy sauce - 2 tablespoons, rice vinegar. You will also need 1 tsp. sesame oil, fresh grated ginger, a spoonful of sesame seeds.
Boil rice - in a double boiler or in the usual way. Cut the tomatoes into cubes or slices. In a separate bowl, stir in the oil and vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, and season the tomatoes with the mixture. Mix the rice warm with sesame seeds, and when it cools down, combine it with the tomatoes.
Option 2. For a spicier dish, sprinkle the rice with a mixture of sushi vinegar and teriyaki sauce after boiling. Protein non-greasy fillers are perfect for this option. It can be shrimp, eel, squid, tofu. For "lazy sushi" with boiled shrimp and fish, take 2.5 cups of chopped protein products per cup of rice. If you choose seaweed, vegetables, tofu, or other foods that do not need heat treatment as a filler, you need to take twice as much filler per cup of rice. Mix everything, season with a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce. The result is a dish that is sometimes called "sushi salad".
Option 3. Make an egg pancake - stir the egg, add the soy sauce, pour the mixture into the pan and fry on both sides. Cool the finished pancake and cut into strips. Put the rice on a plate in a slide, arrange the selected ingredients around in random order - it can be slices of avocado, cucumber, lightly salted salmon. Top with chopped nori seaweed, egg strips, some wasabi, pickled ginger. Pour the soy sauce over the dish.
