Directions

40 min.
1. Step

Start by seasoning the cooked sushi rice. Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until dissolved. Mix this into the cooked sushi rice and let the rice cool.

2. Step

Lay a piece of saran wrap on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori on top.

3. Step

Spread a quarter of the sushi rice in a square shape in the middle of the nori.

4. Step

Layer the cucumber, avocado, chicken, and lettuce on top of the rice. Drizzle with soy sauce and mayonnaise, then season with salt and pepper.

5. Step

To wrap, fold in the four corners of the nori, one at a time, towards the center over the filling, pressing down lightly. The saran wrap will help keep everything together.

6. Step

Repeat the process with the rest of your ingredients.

7. Step

Cut each onigirazu in half with a sharp knife and serve.
