1tspginger powder
1tbspbrown sugar
cornstarch slurry1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water
1pkg vegan tofurkey chick'n
2-3nori sheets
Instructions
Cook your rice in a rice cooker according to the package.
Once the rice is cooked, set it aside for about 10 minutes in a new bowl. Add your seasoned rice vinegar and mix. Set your rice aside until completely cooled.
While your rice is cooling you can prepare your teriyaki chick'n. To do this in a bowl add your water, soy sauce, agave nectar, garlic powder, ginger powder and brown sugar and mix. Then add your cornstarch slurry and mix together. The cornstarch slurry will help thicken your sauce when heated.
Add your vegan chick'n to a pan and heat for about 2-3 minutes. Add your soy sauce mixture and stir until your desired consistency for the sauce is reached. Remove from heat and allow to cool until the rice has cooled.
Once your rice has cooled you want to add a thin layer of it to your nori sheet. Be sure to leave about 1 cm of nori without rice on it, on the top and bottom, this helps for when you have to roll it up. It helps to have a bowl of cold water next to your work space as the rice can be very sticky. Keeping your hands wet will help control the rice better.
Add a good amount of your teriyaki chick'n about halfway down your rice in a thin line.
Dampen your exposed nori, this will help keep everything together. Using both hands gently roll your sushi, ensuring that all your filling stays in. It is kind of like rolling a burrito, you tuck and roll. When it is completely rolled up, be sure to give your roll a good squeeze with the mat to ensure that they are together. Add more water to the seem if needed.
To slice your sushi make sure you are using a very sharp knife. If you wet it, it will also help you slice through your roll.
