HAPPY NEW YEAR 明けましておめでとうございます!
While 2021 was a difficult year for myself and many others, I have a lot of hope and excitement for 2022. Oshogatsu (New Years) is one of the most important holidays in Japan and to celebrate the beginning of the new year, I made a Celebratory Salmon Bara Chirashizushi for part of my Osechi Ryori (traditional Japanese new year food) spread.

• 1 1/2 rice cooker cups of cooked & prepared sushi rice

• 1/2 pound Kvaroy Arctic Salmon, cubed

• Tamagoyaki (Japanese egg omelette), cubed

• Snap Peas, blanched & cubed

• Lotus Root, blanched, cut into discs, and trimmed to look like flowers

• Ikura (salmon roe)

• Tobiko (flying fish roe)

DIRECTIONS
