Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 nori sheets
• 8 ounces cooked chicken breast
• 1 avocado
• 1 cucumber
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1.5 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 0.5 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 2 stalks scallion (green part), finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed.

Step 4

Remove the rice from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 6

For the spicy mayo, combine Greek yogurt, sriracha sauce, lime juice, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed and set aside.

Step 7

Slice the cooked chicken breast into thin strips. Peel and slice the avocado and cucumber lengthwise into thin strips as well.

Step 8

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 9

Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking, then spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top for sealing the roll.

Step 10

Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds over the rice.

Step 11

Lay a few strips of chicken, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 12

Drizzle some spicy mayo over the filling.

Step 13

Lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you and carefully roll it over the filling, pressing firmly to seal. Continue rolling until the nori is closed around the rice.

Step 14

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Repeat with remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 15

Garnish the sushi rolls with chopped scallions and additional spicy mayo if desired. Serve immediately.
