Wasabi's Spicy Chirashi

Whenever I was ever looking for a fast, tasty, healthy thing to eat, Wasabi, a fast-food sushi chain restaurant in the UK was the place to go. My go-to was the Spicy Chirashi with a side of sashimi. Now I've looked far and wide (only as far as the internet) for the recipe but have had to rely on my memory. Recently I had the chance to go to NYC to meet a friend and I knew I had to hit Wasabi there as it is the only way I can get my fix!

As I was eating, I tried my best to remember the flavours I tasted, but when you're hungry and wolfing it down you can't really remember it that well!! This is based on the Wasabi version but isn't really so don't think that it is!!! 

  

 Yay or Nay: Yay

You pretty much mix it all together with some cooked rice and bob's your uncle! This always gets chowed pretty much straightaway as its delicious fresh as opposed to making it ahead - hence no end picture. Add more sriracha if you want more spice, more vinegar for a tangier taste, edamame or alfalfa sprouts for a bit of greenery - so it's really up to you.

Pinch of Yum's Spicy Sofritas

I admit, I have made this before and I totally forgot about this until I saw a pin about sofritas and I knew I had to make it for the site. Every time I make this I seem to change the quantity of one of the ingredients. One time it was the poblano, another was the adobo pepper and both times it was waaaaaaay too spicy. I like spicy but this was burn your mouth off so that you can't taste anything else. I've followed the recipe to the T to make sure I can give you a proper review.

Yay or Nay: Yay

After following the recipe properly, I must admit it had the right balance of everything, just enough heat for the warming or warning tingle! Instead of brown rice I used farro following the cooking instructions on the packet. I did mix the lime juice and coriander and nope the red onion and garlic didn't go into the recipe at all, I only realised they were for the guacamole after I took the pic!
