Wild rice Chirashizushi with Avocado ワイルドライスのちらし寿司

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chirashizushi is one style of serving sushi in Japan. It is also called scattered sushi. This type of sushi is easier than rolling sushi because as long as you manage to prepare the sushi rice, you can just scatter all the toppings on top-easy!

Sushi is a rice dish so it is high in carbs however, using vinegar lowers it’s GI value. Also, if you choose plenty and a variety of vegetables and raw fish as the toppings, you can make it a healthy meal. I love food and blogging about Japanese food.

Wild Rice Chirashizushi with Australian Avocado

I’ve been blogging for over one year now and share not just my recipes, but other’s Japanese food recipes on my Face Book page. This wild rice Chirashizushi from SBS food web site inspired me as I love the beautifully taken photos and wanted to recreate and take photo myself.

Wild rice Chirashizushi with Australian avocados

I have never ever seen black wild rice used for making sushi in Japan so this is quite a westernised highbred sushi I guess. And for toppings, I would not have any problems if I were in Japan, but here in Brisbane I found it is quite hard to find fresh tuna. I found sashimi grade tuna on the weekend and bought a little bit as it was quite expensive. Fortunately in Australia, there are plenty of delicious fresh Australian avocados. When I used to lived in Japan, I could never use avocado. But now I have avocado everyday. I don’t know who created that California roll sushi, but the avocado is good in Sushi rolls with Japanese mayonnaise. Now avocado is a must topping when we make any type of sushi in my household.
