- 2 teaspoons soy sauce

Add a dash of Japanese flair!
Inspired by Japanese onigirazu, this isn't your typical Western-style sandwich—but it's just as convenient, filling, and easy to enjoy on the go. In place of bread, medium-grain rice wrapped in nori holds all the fillings together, which include an egg cooked in a sweet and savory combination of soy sauce and maple syrup, plus a slice of American cheese, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of mayonnaise for good measure.
Directions
- In a nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Crack egg into the skillet and let cook. When the egg white is mostly set, fold the white over the yolk.
- Dust both sides of the egg with flour using a sieve, flipping the egg one more time to cook both coated sides.
- Pour a mixture of soy sauce and maple syrup over the egg and cook for an additional minute. Set the egg aside.
- Place a sheet of nori on a cutting board. Spread half of the rice in the center of the nori, making sure the rice is warm but not hot to avoid tearing the nori.
- Place a slice of American cheese, avocado slices, mayonnaise, cooked egg, and remaining rice on top.
- Carefully wrap the nori into a square using the sticky rice as a glue. Flip it upside down and cut it in half (wetting your knife with water before cutting can prevent the rice from sticking to the blade). Serve and enjoy!
