Preparation Steps
- Rinse the rice under cold water until clear, about 2-3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Combine rinsed rice with cold water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cover for 12 minutes, then let steam for 10 minutes.
- Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until dissolved. Fold the mixture into the steamed rice gently.
- Slice chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Let sit to enhance flavors.
- Set up coating station with plain flour in one bowl and cornstarch in another, adding salt and pepper to the flour.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C) using a thermometer.
- Coat chicken strips in flour and cornstarch, then fry in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
- Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat, spread an even layer of sushi rice over it, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Place crispy chicken strips and avocado slices over the rice towards the bottom edge.
- Roll the mat away from you gently, using water to seal the edge of the nori.
- Slice the roll into 8 equal pieces with a wet, sharp knife and arrange on a serving platter.
