Method
- Combine soy sauce, mirin and grated ginger in medium bowl.
- Slice chicken breasts into long strips of even thickness and marinate in soy mixture.
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Follow directions on packet to cook sushi rice in rice cooker or saucepan. Once cooked, remove from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Mix sushi seasoning and salt and gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice and let it cool to room temperature.
- Spread corn flour over a large plate and lightly toss each chicken strip in cornflour.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving 2cm border at the top edge.
- Place a few crispy chicken strips, avocado slices, and julienned cucumber and carrot across the rice. Squeeze a small strip of Kewpie mayonnaise across the top.
- Roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, using the mat to help. Seal the roll by dampening the top border with the water.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp knife and serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger. Enjoy!
