Since Sushi Rolls became very popular in Melbourne where I live, I often come across unique Sushi Rolls. One of my favourites is Chicken ‘Katsu’ Rolls. One day I craved it but I didn’t want to bother making Sushi Rolls, so I made a Sushi Rice Bowl using the same ingredients. Chicken ‘Katsu’ (Fried Crumbed Chicken Breast) and sweet and sour Sushi Rice are a great match.

  3. Prepare Salad Vegetables. Cut into strips, small pieces OR thin slices, and arrange them on the Sushi Rice.
  4. Cut Chicken ‘Katsu’ into the size that is easy to eat, arrange the Chicken ‘Katsu’ pieces on the vegetables, drizzle with Tonkastu Sauce and Japanese Mayonnaise, and enjoy.
