Ingredients

4 servings

2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice 2 cups water 2 eggs, well beaten 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided 1 onion, diced 1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained 1 carrot, julienned 1 cucumber, julienned 6 sheets nori (dry seaweed)

Saucy Chicken Meatballs

Instructions

Step 1

Start by bringing 2 cups of water and cider vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice, give it a good stir, then lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is soft and sticky.

Step 2

While the rice cooks, boil some water in another saucepan and cook the chard until it’s tender. Once done, drain and slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

Next, whisk the eggs together with soy sauce and a bit of water. Pour the mixture into a skillet over medium heat and cook until it thickens, then take it off the heat and cut it into strips.

Step 4

Heat some vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Slowly cook the onions until they soften, then add the beef along with a tablespoon of soy sauce. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Put the nori sheets on a baking sheet and warm them for 1 to 2 minutes until they’re just a little crisp.

Step 6

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo rolling mat and spread a thin, even layer of rice over it, leaving the edges clear. Along one end, arrange some carrot sticks, tuna, chard, egg strips, cucumber slices, and beef in a line. Roll the sushi tightly, sealing the edge with a grain or two of rice. Slice each roll into about four pieces and serve.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. To maintain freshness, avoid adding sauces until ready to eat. Allow sushi to come to room temperature before serving again for the best texture.
