Gunkans sushi

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Rinse the rice thoroughly to remove the starch contained in it. Then put it in a saucepan, pour in water. No matter how many portions you want to cook, remember to cook rice in a ratio of 1:2. Bring the water to a boil, add a little salt, then cook the rice over low heat under a closed lid for 20-25 minutes. After that, remove the pan from the heat and do not open the lid for another 10 minutes, at this time the rice will reach the desired consistency.

2. Step 2:

   

   When the rice is completely ready, it is necessary to add rice vinegar to it, mix and since chilled rice is used in the formation of drying, it needs to be cooled at room temperature. While the rice is cooking, you can cook the chicken in the sauce. Mix mayonnaise with sweet chili sauce (I use homemade, but you can buy it). Taste the sauce, and if necessary, add more sweet chili sauce, because they are all different in sharpness.

3. Step 3:

   

   Chicken fillet finely chop and fry for 3 minutes in a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil. Add to the previously prepared sauce and mix all the ingredients well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Now cut the nori into strips. The width of one strip is approximately 3 cm. For 2 servings, 10 such strips will be needed.

5. Step 5:

   

   Now moisten your hands in water (this is done so that the rice does not stick to your hands) and take a portion of rice (25 gr.). From this rice, form something like a bar with your hands, put it on a strip of nori in the center! Please note that the rice should not completely cover the entire width of the strip! It is necessary to leave some space for the filling. Put 1-2 rice pieces on one edge of the nori.

7. Step 6:

   

   Now wrap the rice in nori and connect the edges of the nori with the help of risinok. With your hands, trim the gunkans and give them the correct shape. The foundation for gunkan is ready. In this way, form all the gankans.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the filling in each gunkan. Cover the baking sheet with foil, on which lay out the gunkans.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the gunkans in the oven on the grill mode and cook for about 4 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    As a result, the gunkans will have a very beautiful baked top. When serving, do not forget about soy sauce, wasabi and ginger.
