instructions
    1

    Start by preparing your chicken. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it’s fully cooked and no longer pink inside.

    2

    Once cooked, let the chicken cool slightly before chopping it into thin strips.

    3

    In a bowl, mix the cooked rice with soy sauce, mayonnaise, and sesame oil until well combined.

    4

    Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or clean surface.

    5

    Spread a thin layer of the rice mixture over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top.

    6

    Place a few strips of chicken, some finely chopped green onions, and shredded carrot at the bottom of the rice layer.

    7

    Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori from the bottom, tucking it in as you go, until you create a tight roll.

    8

    Once rolled, you can use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth in between cuts to ensure cleaner edges.

    9

    Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

    10

    Serve your Toritama Maki on a platter with extra soy sauce for dipping.
