Teriyaki chiken sushi roll
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1/2 pound cooked teriyaki chicken, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Soy sauce for dipping
- Pickled ginger and wasabi for serving
Instructions:
- Cook sushi rice according to package instructions.
- In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until sugar dissolves. Stir this mixture into the cooked rice and let it cool to room temperature.
- Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a clean surface. Put a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat.
- Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread about a half-cup of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
- Arrange slices of teriyaki chicken, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom edge of the rice.
- Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and begin rolling the nori, rice, and fillings away from you. Press the mat gently to shape the roll.
- Seal the edge of the nori with a little water. Repeat the process for the remaining rolls.
- Using a sharp knife, wet with water to prevent sticking, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve the teriyaki chicken sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
