It still counts, even if this particular recipe takes a shortcut on the tempura coating. We\u2019re using pre-coated chicken tenders to get that crunch and crackle, but the other flavors are authentically Asian.<\/p>\n<p>The sushi mat can be intimidating at first. Go slow, be patient, and don\u2019t overload the filling. You\u2019ll have a perfectly formed roll that holds together in no time.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Chicken Tempura Roll<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sushi rice:<\/strong> You have to use a short-grain, glutinous sushi rice for this recipe. Regular rice won\u2019t stick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice vinegar:<\/strong> The acidity in rice vinegar turns starchy rice into tangy sushi rice. Sushi means \u2018sour rice\u2019 after all.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> This provides the sweetness that is also a feature of the sushi rolls we\u2019re used to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> Where there\u2019s rice, there\u2019s always salt to bring out the hidden flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken tenders:<\/strong> For convenience, thaw a pack of frozen breaded tenders for baking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange juice concentrate:<\/strong> This gives the sweet, citrusy sharpness to the chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soy sauce:<\/strong> Use a low-sodium light soy sauce to bring the umami and saltiness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ginger:<\/strong> Mince fresh ginger root for the signature aroma you want from Japanese-inspired cuisine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red pepper flakes:<\/strong> Crushed flakes add a pleasant kick of heat to the sushi rolls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sesame oil:<\/strong> Smoky sesame oil really lingers on the palate and absorbs the other flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bamboo sushi mat:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need this piece of kit to roll the perfect sushi roll.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Almonds:<\/strong> Slice, chop, and toast aromatic almond nuts to coat the outside of the rolls in a crunchy layer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green onions<\/strong>: These fragrant onions give some crunch to the filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red pepper:<\/strong> Julienne a small bell pepper for color, texture, and sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Navel orange:<\/strong> Use the navel variety because the peeled sections give a citrusy sourness without seeping too much juice into the filling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Wash and soak the sushi rice<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chicken-Tempura-Roll_TOHD24_50526_DianaRattray_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Soaking sushi rice in a saucepan to make chicken tempura roll for a Taste Recipes recipe.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Rattray for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, wash the sushi rice in several changes of cold water to remove the starch until the water is clear.

Holding the bamboo mat, roll the rectangle away from you. Be careful to enclose the filling with rice. Use the mat to help you squeeze the roll into a compact log. Remove the mat and set the tempura roll aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8: Cut the roll into slices<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHD24_50526_DianaRattray_8-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Slicing the chicken tempura roll.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Rattray for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cut the tempura roll into individual rounds and top with the remaining orange juice dressing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2052193 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chicken-Tempura-Roll_TOHD24_50526_DianaRattray_9.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chicken tempura roll slices on a plate with dip on the side.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Rattray for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Chicken Tempura Roll Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add a nori layer:<\/strong> If you\u2019re comfortable with your sushi rolling, add a dried seaweed layer on the outside by laying a sheet of nori on the plastic wrap.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try a teriyaki sauce:<\/strong> You can swap the homemade orange dressing step for a ready-made teriyaki sauce. It will be saltier and sweeter but won&#8217;t have the same level of acidity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a sushi kit:<\/strong> Opt for a failsafe sushi-making kit to take the trial and error out of your sushi rolling. They\u2019re great for building your confidence before moving to the mat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chicken Tempura Roll<\/h2>\n<p>Chicken tempura rolls can last longer in the refrigerator than raw fish sushi. But the rice still has a tendency to dry out and turn hard. You should wrap any uncut rolls tightly in plastic wrap and place cut pieces in an airtight container. They will last for up to three days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make chicken tempura roll ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Authentic sushi is usually made to order, but you can start on these tempura chicken rolls by preparing the rice and baking the chicken in advance. Refrigerate the chicken but not the rice. Cover the latter with a damp towel and keep it at room temperature for up to six hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicken Tempura Roll Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2052194 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chicken-Tempura-Roll_TOHD24_50526_DianaRattray_10.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"An appetizer plate with sliced chicken tempura roll and dip.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Rattray for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do you have to use sushi rice?<\/h3>\n<p>The word &#8220;sushi&#8221; actually refers to the sourness of the rice versus the rice itself, but that doesn\u2019t mean any rice will do. You need a short-grain rice that will be sticky. If you can\u2019t find anything labeled as \u2018sushi rice\u2019, try arborio rice, normally used in risotto.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with chicken tempura roll?<\/h3>\n<p>The sushi roll is the final dish, but feel free to add your own flourishes to the presentation with a spicy mayo dressing drizzled on top, sesame seeds, or fried onions. For an authentic look, serve with a smear of wasabi and a stack of pickled ginger.<\/p>\n<h3>What chicken can I use for tempura rolls?<\/h3>\n<p>Since packaged tenders can vary in quality, you can make your own panko chicken tenders with just three ingredients. Or try meatier boneless thighs for their richer dark meat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These sushi rice rolls are delicious and are simpler to make than you think.
