2. 2

   Make Sushi Vinegar by mixing Rice Vinegar, Sugar and Salt. Pour it over the HOT rice in the pot, then empty it into a large mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Mix it well gently and thoroughly, fanning the Rice with a fan or piece of cardboard to help the rice cool quickly. Cover with a damp cloth to stop the rice drying out.

   Fillings:
   To make Chicken ‘Katsu’, slice Chicken Breast Fillets in half and make them even thickness by flattening the thick parts using a meat mullet or something.

   How To Roll:
   Place a sheet of Nori on Makisu (bamboo mat). You can try with Plastic Food Wrap or Foil if you don’t have Makisu.

10. 10

    Spread out cooled Sushi Rice on the Nori sheet. You need to leave some empty space at the end.

11. 11

    Place some Chicken strips and vegetable, then start to roll. Lift the nearest end of Makisu and fold over rice and filling, matching the end of the spread Rice to the other end, then press. Pull the Makisu end up and roll it, pressing it a couple of times.

12. 12

    Cut into bite sized pieces with a sharp knife. The knife becomes very sticky, so you need to wipe it frequently with a wet cloth or paper towel.
