A delicious sushi roll featuring crispy tempura-battered chicken, fresh vegetables, and sushi rice wrapped in nori.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 boneless chicken thighs, sliced into strips
  • 1/2 cup tempura batter mix
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1/2 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp wasabi (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Rinse sushi rice until water runs clear. Cook rice with 1 1/4 cups water in a rice cooker or pot. Once cooked, mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let cool.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Mix tempura batter with cold water. Dip chicken strips in batter and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  4. Arrange cucumber, avocado, and tempura chicken horizontally in the center of the rice.
  5. Roll tightly using the bamboo mat, pressing gently to seal the edge with the rice border.
  6. Slice the roll into 8 pieces with a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi if desired.
