This time, we will introduce the Hinamatsuri "Chirashi Sushi Cake" to celebrate with crickets!
Hinamatsuri, which is popular as an event to celebrate the healthy growth and health of girls, has a custom of eating celebratory dishes using seasonal ingredients that make you feel the arrival of spring.
Among them, chirashizushi looks gorgeous and is said to have come to be eaten because it is made with plenty of auspicious food from the mountains and sea.
This time, I will introduce a cake-style recipe that uses vinegared rice for chirashi sushi and kinshi tamago with grilus powder.
With the motif of hishimochi, the vinegared rice has three layers of pink, white, and green.

So crickets!
"Grilas Powder" is made by powdering domestic Futahoshi crickets with a unique manufacturing method so that it is easy to use.
The amount of protein per 100g is about 73.6g.
You can easily ingest protein by adding it to your daily cooking.
You can add the flavor and umami of dried sardines and dried shrimp to the slightly sweet ingredients such as sakura starch and edamame used in the vinegared rice.
Grilous powder tends to clump, so sift it little by little with a tea strainer and mix evenly.
Why Cricket?
The protein crisis that will occur in the future and the food loss problem that is currently occurring mainly in developed countries. In order to solve both of these problems, Grilas grows edible crickets using food waste as food.
