Directions
To Prep
- Cut the cucumber in to thin horizontal strips before removing the seeds. This should leave strips of just the flesh that should be trimmed to fit the hand roll.
- Add the sushi vinegar to the cooked sushi rice and gentle fold in to the rice until well incorporated.
- Pound the chicken using a meat tenderiser to make it thinner and flat.
- Dip into the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
To Cook
- In a pan with enough oil to fry, cook the chicken until golden and then drain on paper towels.
- When the chicken has cooled slightly, cut it in to sections that are small enough to fit on to the hand roll.
To Make the Roll
- Cut nori sheets in half. Place sushi rice and then the lettuce, cucumber and chicken slices onto one side of nori.
- Fold the nearest corner of the nori over the filling and start to shape.
- The finished hand roll should be shaped conically to prevent any rice from falling out from the bottom.
- Sprinkle some tonkatsu sauce over the top and serve!
