How to make sushi gunkans? Prepare all the ingredients. Rinse the rice well to remove the starch it contains. Put the rice in a saucepan and fill with water (1: 2). Bring the water to the boil, salt a little. Simmer the rice under a closed lid for 15-20 minutes. Turn off the heat and do not open the lid for another 10 minutes. Rice during this time will reach the desired consistency. Cool the finished rice, add rice vinegar to it and mix.

While the rice is brewing, you can make chicken in sauce. To do this, mix the mayonnaise with the sweet chilli sauce. I use home. The amounts of chilli sauce can be adjusted to your liking.

Rinse the chicken fillet, dry, finely cut and fry, stirring periodically, for 3 minutes in a pan with a little vegetable oil. Put the chicken in the previously cooked sauce and mix all the ingredients well.

Cut the nori into strips. The width of one strip is about 3 cm. In 2 portions, I needed 10 such strips. Note that rice will need to be laid out on the rough side of nori.

Wet your hands in water. This is done so that the rice does not stick to the hands. Take a portion of rice (approx. 25 gr. ). From this rice, form something like a bar with your hands and put it on a strip of nori in the center. Note that rice should not completely cover the entire width of the strip! You need to leave a little space for filling. Put 1-2 marks on one edge of nori.

Form the gunkan and connect the edges of the nori with the help of figs. With your hands, give them the right shape. The foundation is ready. Form all gunkans in this way.

Put the filling in each gunkan. Cover the baking sheet with foil, on which put the guncans.

Put the gunkans in the oven on grill mode and cook for about 4 minutes. As a result, the gunkans will have a very beautiful ruddy top.

Serve the gunkans with soy sauce, wasabi and ginger. Enjoy your meal!
