Ingredients for Chicken Tempura Roll

Method

Instructions for Chicken Tempura Roll

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl, then gently fold it into the rice. Let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, mix tempura batter with water until smooth. Dip chicken strips into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the battered chicken strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place a few strips of fried chicken in the center and roll tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with a bit of water.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
