Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Roll Recipe

So first off you want to make some teriyaki chicken, it's very simple to make, just take a hot pan, add some sesame seed oil and some olive oil, then add your chicken. Alright so you want the chicken to be cooked but not overcooked, if it's overcooked then it's very dry so make sure you really don't overcook it, but also don't undercook it because then it's raw, obviously. Okay so just flip over the chicken and then when it's perfectly cooked you add some thick sweet teriyaki sauce, just drizzle it over like that. This is a very simple sauce to make, if you want to know how to make it then check out the link in the description of this video. Alright so just glaze the chicken a little bit with the teriyaki sauce and not too long, and then put it to the side ready to make some sushi. Alright so you start off by laying bamboo rolling mat inside a plastic bag with half sheet of Nori on top of it, rough side up. Then you slightly wet your hands so the rice doesn't stick to them much with some water and vinegar rice mixture, and you take 120-grams of cooked seasoned sushi rice and you spread it out evenly over your half sheet, and you want to do this nice and softly and fluff it up. Now flip the sheet over with the rice and place two pieces of teriyaki chicken you just sliced cucumber, very small amount because otherwise you won't be able to close it. Then you add a little bit of teriyaki sauce, okay, and then you roll it. You just bring up the back end, you pull it over and then you compress. Then you let go, push forward, compress again, and then let go one more time and push forward and compress one more time, and there you go, that's your sushi roll. Okay now you just move this to one side and you take half avocado and then you start slicing, very thin slices, about one millimeter thickness is what you want to aim for, and you want to have very precise cuts. By only dragging the tip of the knife through the avocado you encounter less resistance and then the avocado doesn't stick to the knife as much. If you go flat up and down what will happen is the avocado slices just cut very thinly, it will just stick to the knife as you pull back out. Once you've cut the avocado slices you spread them out thinly on the board, just like so, and then you just trim off the sides. This is just to make it look a little neater. Alright then move your sushi roll so you can easily add the avocado slices and then with your knife just slide it underneath the avocado slices and then place it on top of your sushi roll, just like so. Now you take a piece of cling film and you place it over your sushi roll and then press this on with another bamboo rolling mat, this one without a plastic bag over it so the plastic wrap doesn't stick to it, and then release. Now to cut the sushi roll, wet your knife against a damp rag so the sushi rice doesn't stick to it much, then just cut your roll in half, place the two together. Okay so cut the sushi roll into six pieces and two spare off cuts, don't forget to wet your knife on a damp cloth in between cuts, this helps against rice sticking against the blade and makes it much easier to cut through the sushi. These will be the end bits of the roll and these can be eaten by the chef or thrown away. Now remove the cling film very gently and then you have six perfect pieces of sushi leftover. Alright so to plate up you simply take your sushi roll pieces and you place them onto a plate, add a little pickled ginger, then you drizzle some thick sweet teriyaki sauce over it, just look at that, glossy, thick, honey-like consistency, just marvelous. And then sprinkle over some freshly toasted sesame seeds, and voila, done. Thanks for watching this video, I hope you enjoyed it.
