Ingredients
Scale
Rice
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 ½ cups water
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
Chicken Marinade
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Toppings
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Sriracha, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook and Season Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice with 2 ½ cups water in a pot and cook until tender. Once cooked, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to season the rice evenly.
- Marinate and Cook Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, mirin, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade. Add diced chicken breasts and let them marinate briefly. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until caramelized and fully cooked through.
- Assemble the Stack: Using a mold or ring, layer the seasoned sushi rice first, then add sliced avocado, and finally top with the caramelized teriyaki chicken. Press gently to create a neat stack.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the mold carefully and garnish the top of the stack with sesame seeds, fresh cilantro leaves, and a drizzle of sriracha if desired for some heat. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- For the best sushi rice texture, rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 10 minutes for deeper flavor if time permits.
- Use a ring mold for a professional and clean presentation of the dish.
- Add sriracha sparingly, adjusting to your spice preference.
- This dish is best served fresh and warm.
