    1 In a rice cooker or small pot, place rice and top with ½ cup water. Cook, following packet instructions, until all water is absorbed. Spread rice out on a plate and allow to cool.

    2 Pour teriyaki sauce over chicken. Heat a small frying pan over medium-high. Place chicken in pan and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat, cover pan and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from pan and allow to cool.

    3 On a sushi mat, place nori sheet and spread rice over the majority of the sheet, leaving a 2cm gap at top and bottom. Lay chicken across the middle of the rice. Repeat with carrot and cucumber.

    4 Moisten top and bottom of nori sheet. With the sushi mat, roll up tightly and seal. Cut into 6-8 pieces and place in lunchbox.

    HFG tip

    Prepare double the amount of rice, then you have enough for another day too.

    Nori is seaweed used to wrap sushi. Find it in the international aisle of most supermarkets.

    It’s not a good idea to have sushi every day, as it’s exceptionally high in iodine, so you want to monitor intake.

    NOTE: If you have a nut allergy and are using packaged goods in recipes, please check the allergen warning on the packet regarding nuts.
