Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear for about 2-3 minutes. Cook in rice cooker or pot with 2.5 cups water on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, until fluffy.
  2. Combine 0.25 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a medium bowl to create the teriyaki marinade. Cut 1 pound of chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and caramelized, reaching 165°F internal temperature.
  4. Using a ring mold, layer the sushi rice in the mold, about 1 inch high. Layer slices of avocado over the rice followed by the caramelized chicken on top.
  5. Remove the mold carefully to reveal the layered stack. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro, and drizzle with sriracha to taste. Serve immediately.
