Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare sushi rice

Mix cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let cool to room temperature.

2
Prepare fillings

Slice cooked chicken breast, cucumber, and avocado.

3
Lay out nori

Place a sheet of nori on a cutting board or bamboo mat, shiny side down.

4
Add rice layer

Spread a square of sushi rice (about 1 cup) in the center of the nori, leaving borders around the edges.

5
Add fillings

Layer lettuce, chicken, cucumber, and avocado slices on top of the rice.

6
Add condiments

Drizzle mayonnaise and soy sauce over the fillings.

7
Add top rice layer

Spread another layer of rice on top of the fillings.

8
Fold nori

Fold the nori over the filling from all four sides, like wrapping a gift.

9
Seal the onigirazu

Gently press down to seal the edges of the nori. The moisture from the rice will help it stick.

10
Cut and serve

Using a sharp knife, cut the onigirazu in half diagonally. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic for later.
