Ingredients
3 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 cup sushi rice
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
150ml teriyaki sauce
1 avocado
1 Lebanese cucumber
1 carrot
Colway mayonnaise
6 nori sheets
Method
Prepare the Chicken — Marinate chicken thighs in teriyaki sauce inside a large air tight container for at least 3 hours (or as long as possible—minimum 30 minutes).
Cook in an air fryer at 200°C for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Cook the Rice — Prepare sushi rice according to packet instructions, adding water, white wine vinegar, and salt.
Prepare the Veggies — Peel and julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin matchstick-sized pieces.
Slice the avocado lengthwise after removing the skin and seed.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer. Let rest, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Sushi Sandwich — Lay one nori sheet flat on a surface. Using scissors, make a vertical cut from the bottom centre to the middle of the sheet.
Arrange fillings in the quadrants: Rice and mayonnaise, Chicken, Avocado, Carrot and cucumber
Fold counterclockwise, starting with the rice and mayonnaise corner, to form a compact square sandwich.
