  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (for marinade)
  • 1/2 tsp caster sugar (for marinade)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 13 tbsp cold water (to desired dressing consistency)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
  2. Combine the drained rice with 1 cup of cold water in a pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Then, reduce to low heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for another 10 minutes. Stir in a mixture of 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  4. In a colander, pour boiling water over the sliced red onion, then set aside.
  5. Combine the drained onion with 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of caster sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  6. For the sesame mayo, combine 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1-3 tablespoons of cold water to achieve a drizzleable consistency.
  7. Slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, and cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  8. Add 3 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and a tablespoon of water to the pan, cook for another minute, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
  9. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice into thin strips.
  10. In serving bowls, divide the seasoned rice. Top with pickled red onions, pineapple, edamame, julienned carrots, and bell peppers. Place the sliced chicken on top and drizzle with the sesame mayo. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
