Notes
For vegetarian options, substitute grilled chicken for marinated tofu or try different proteins such as shrimp. Prep all ingredients beforehand for a more relaxed cooking process. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the rice and chicken separate from the nori until ready to eat. For freezing, pack in airtight containers and use within a month.
