Chicken Sushi Roll Part 2

Ingredients

• 4 Real Good Foods chicken strips (available at Costco; cooked until crispy according to package instructions)
• 1.5 cup sushi rice (cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt)
• 2 nori sheets (dried seaweed sheets)
• 0.5 cucumber (sliced into long, thin matchsticks)
• 0.5 avocado (sliced into thin strips)
• 2 tbsp spicy mayo (for drizzling)
• 1 tbsp unagi sauce (eel sauce; for drizzling)

Steps

1. 1

   Cook the chicken strips according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. 2

   Prepare the sushi rice by rinsing it until the water runs clear, cooking it, and then seasoning it with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while still warm.

3. 3

   Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.

4. 4

   Spread a thin, even layer of seasoned sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top edge.

5. 5

   Lay the crispy chicken strips, cucumber matchsticks, and avocado slices in a horizontal line across the center of the rice.

6. 6

   Using the bamboo mat, firmly roll the nori over the fillings, applying gentle pressure to create a tight cylinder.

7. 7

   Wet a sharp knife with water and slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

8. 8

   Drizzle the sliced rolls with spicy mayo and unagi sauce before serving.
