From sweet to savory and everything in between, each recipe is a spontaneous fusion of flavors, cultures, and creativity.
Follow along as I turn chance into culinary magic โ€” one unique recipe at a time. โœจ๐Ÿด


Today’s pull:
     ๐ŸŒŒJapanese
     and
     ๐ŸŒŒJamaican
 

I decided to make:
      ๐ŸŒถJerk Chicken Sushi๐ŸŒถ

INGREDIENTS:


๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—For the jerk chicken:
1 lb boneless chicken thighs
2 tbsp walkerswood wet jerk season
1/2 head cabbage, rough chop
1 onion, rough chop
2 C baby carrots


๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถFor the dry seasoning:
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 t Paprika
1 t Cayenne
1/2 t Cinnamon
1 t Cloves
1 Tbsp Thyme
2 t Allspice
1 t Ginger
1 t Garlic
1 tOnion
1/2 t Black Pepper
2 t Salt


๐Ÿš๐ŸšFor the sushi rice:
2 cups cooked sushi rice
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt


๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿฅ’For the fillings:
a few sheets of nori
1 ripe mango, thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, julienned
ยฝ avocado, sliced

๐Ÿฅฃ Jerk Mayo
2 tbsp mayo
ยฝ tsp jerk seasoning
ยฝ tsp lime juice


Mix and chill until serving

๐Ÿด INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Marinate & Cook the Chicken

Combine all jerk chicken seasonings. Marinate 30 minutes (or overnight for intensity). Roughly chop veggies and set in the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange chicken over top. Seal tightly with foil and Bake for 4 hours at 250ยฐF until fork tender and slightly charred. Slice thin once cooled.

2. Prepare the Rice

Mix vinegar, sugar, and salt; fold gently into warm rice. Let cool slightly.

3. Roll the Sushi

Place nori shiny side down on the mat.Spread rice evenly, leaving 1 inch at the top. Arrange jerk chicken, mango, cucumber, and avocado in the center. Roll tightly, using water to seal the edge. Slice into 8 pieces with a sharp, damp knife.

**For the picture, only scallions were used for the filling**

4. Finish with Magic

Use silicone brush to spread caramelized jerk chicken juices on outer roll. Use a blow torch to add caramelized charred sections on the sushi roll. Sprinkle with lime zest and scallions. Use jerk mayo for drizzling or dipping.

5. Use the cooked veggies for the perfect side dish with your sushi.

ENJOY!
