Ingredients

Cold Barley Tea

  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 bags Roasted barley tea
  • ice

Rice

  • cup Sushi rice
  • 1 tsp Rice wine vinegar
  • pinch Salt

Chicken Filling

  • 8 oz Chicken breast boneless skinless sliced
  • ½ cup Seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp Honey

Sides

  • 1 cup Edamame beans shelled
  • pinch Salt
  • 1/2 cup Kimchi

Onigirazu Assembly

  • 2 Nori seaweed sheets
  • 1/2 Avocado thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Cucumber shredded
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Prepare the roasted barley tea: Steep the roasted barley tea bags in boiled water for 10 minutes. Squeeze and remove tea bags. Refrigerate the tea to cool. Serve over ice if preferred.
  • Prepare the rice: Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. In a small bowl, mix the warm sushi rice with rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken until coated well.
  • Cook the chicken tenders: Preheat an air fryer (or oven). Cook the chicken tenders to an internal temperature of 160F / 71C.
  • Slice the chicken and toss with soy sauce, sriracha, and honey until lightly coated.
  • Prepare the edamame according to the directions on the package. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Assemble the onigirazu: Place one nori sheet shiny-side down on a flat surface. Add a thin layer of rice in the center. Layer avocado, cucumber, chicken, sesame seeds, and another thin layer of rice on top.
  • Wrap the onigirazu: Fold the corners of the nori inward toward the center to fully enclose the filling into a square shape. Let it sit seam side-down for 2 to 3 minutes to seal.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the onigirazu in half.
  • Serve with edamame, kimchi, and cold barley tea.
