Place all ingredients (except the oil) into a bowl and mix to combine.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Scoop out a small amount of chicken batter and add to the pan, squishing it so it makes a fritter shape. Cook in batches as required so that the pan is not overcrowded (you should be able to fit 6-8 fritters in a pan).
Fry each fritter until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil once cooked through.
Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic oil, and mirin to a bowl and combine well. Add the chicken breast to the bowl and mix, ensuring that the marinade covers the chicken.
Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken for a minimum of 5 minutes, ideally a few hours.
Wash your rice then add to rice cooker along with water (enough that it covers the rice plus the length of your finger tip) and turn on.
Once rice has cooked, turn the rice cooker off. Add the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to the rice and stir through until absorbed. Leave to cool.
Heat a pan to a medium-high heat, and add the chicken. Cook through, flipping over half way through to cool both sides.
Lay a seaweed sheet on top of a sushi rolling mat. Place a quarter of the cooled rice on top, and spread over the entire sheet, leaving only a 1-2cm strip across the length at the far end of the sheet.
At the end closest to you, make a line across the length of each ingredient – teriyaki chicken, lettuce, capsicum, cucumber, avocado.
Wet all of the lengthways seaweed strip with water.
Using the rolling mat, tuck in the ingredients and roll tightly. The wet seaweed strip will glue the roll together.
Place the roll onto a chopping board, and using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into pieces.
Top tip: Increase your recipe size and make extras for next time to save yourself the prep work. Individually freeze before adding to a bag/container and putting them away in the freezer for up to three months.
INGREDIENTS
1 Chicken Breast, boneless and skinless, large
1 C gluten free Flour
2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
1 C gluten free Breadcrumbs
1 C Desiccated Coconut
2 Eggs, whisked
Vegetable Oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Add the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika into a shallow dish or bowl and mix together. Into a second dish/bowl, add the whisked egg. In a third dish/bowl, add the coconut and breadcrumbs together and mix together.
Cut the chicken into strips. Cover each piece in the prepared flour, then the egg, then the coconut breadcrumb mix, making sure that each coat thoroughly covers each piece of chicken.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan – enough to shallow fry the chicken (you could also deep fry the chicken as an alternative method). Once hot, add the chicken to the pan, ensuring that the pieces aren’t touching. If required, cook the chicken in batches. Cook each side until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove from pan and sit on a wire rack so that any excess oil is drained. Once drained and slightly cooled, serve.
