Ingredients used to make Chicken teriyaki Sushi

Boneless chicken breast	2
Mirin	2 Tbsp
Soy Sauce	1/4 cup
Sake	2 Tbsp
Rice	2 cups
Nori Sheets	4
Black pepper	as per taste
Ginger	1 Tbsp grated
Garlic	2 cloves minced
Olive Oil	1 Tbsp
Cucumber	1

Instructions to follow:

• Prepare the teriyaki chicken. Cut the chicken into thin, long strips. Marinate it with soy sauce, mirin, black pepper, grated ginger and garlic. Give it a good mix. Set it aside for 30 minutes.
• For sushi rice, use short-grain Japanese Rice. You can use my Instant Pot Sushi Rice recipe. After your Rice is ready, season them with Rice Vinegar and sugar. Use the cut and slice method so that each grain is flavoured. But be gentle to avoid mashing the Rice.
• In a pan, take 1 Tbsp oil. Put marinated chicken in the pan. Cook it on medium flame till the chicken turns golden brown. Chicken should be cooked but not over cooked. Over cooked chicken can become dry. Be careful not to burn it as the sauce has sugar in it. Set chicken teriyaki aside.
• Juvenile a cucumber in thin slices.
• Assemble the rolls. Cut the Nori sheet in half. Put it on a Bamboo mat. Wet your hands with water. Take Rice and place a layer on the Nori sheet, leaving about half an inch from the top edge.
• Next, place chicken teriyaki in a horizontal line with thinly sliced cucumbers. You can also add avocados or carrots.
• Roll the sheet using a bamboo mat. Put pressure on the roll while folding it to assemble it tightly. When done, set the rolls aside. To cut the rolls evenly, use a sharp knife and wet it between cuttings.
• Cut your rolls into 6 or 8 pieces. Voila, your chicken teriyaki Sushi Rolls are ready to roll.
