Ingredients

• 1 piece Boneless skinless chicken breast
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha

Directions

Step 1

Start by cooking sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, add rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to the hot rice, mixing gently. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare the chicken katsu. Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and the other with panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Dredge the chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels. Slice into thin strips once slightly cooled.

Step 6

While the chicken cools, slice the cucumber into thin strips and cut the avocado into slices.

Step 7

Prepare sushi rolling station with a bamboo mat. Place a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat.

Step 8

Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then spread 1/2 cup of prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 9

Spread a thin line of mayonnaise down the center of the rice, followed by placing a couple of chicken strips, cucumber strips, and avocado slices.

Step 10

Carefully roll the sushi using the bamboo mat, pressing gently to shape but not too tightly. Moisten the exposed edge of the nori to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the assembly for remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 12

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and sriracha to make a dipping sauce.

Step 13

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 8 pieces, wiping the knife blade with a damp cloth between slices.

Step 14

Serve the chicken katsu sushi rolls with the spicy dipping sauce.
