About Chicken teriyaki roll

The Chicken Teriyaki Roll is a popular Japanese-inspired dish, often served as sushi. It consists of tender teriyaki-glazed chicken, sushi rice, nori (seaweed), and sometimes vegetables like cucumber or avocado. Typically, it's seasoned with sesame seeds and soy sauce for added flavor. This dish is relatively balanced, offering a good mix of protein, carbohydrates, and a small amount of fat. A single roll (about 190-250g) provides approximately 300-400 calories, 15-20g of protein, 4-8g of fat, and 40-50g of carbohydrates, making it a satiating and protein-rich choice with a moderate glycemic load. However, sodium content can be high due to the soy sauce and teriyaki glaze, so portion control is advisable for those monitoring salt intake.

Health Benefits

• Rich in protein (15-20g per roll), supporting muscle growth and repair.
• Provides selenium from the chicken, which helps boost antioxidant defenses and supports thyroid health.
• Contains vitamin B6, essential for energy metabolism and proper functioning of the nervous system.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains soy, wheat (from soy sauce), sesame

Suitable for: High-protein diets, non-vegetarian diets

Not suitable for: Vegetarian diets, vegan diets, gluten-free diets (unless tamari soy sauce is used)

Selection and Storage

Chicken Teriyaki Rolls should be consumed on the day they are prepared. If leftovers exist, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container and consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness.

Can I eat a Chicken Teriyaki Roll on a keto or low-carb diet?

A Chicken Teriyaki Roll is not ideal for a keto or low-carb diet due to the sushi rice, which is high in carbohydrates. One roll can have 30-50 grams of carbs, depending on the quantity of rice used, making it incompatible with strict low-carb diets.

What are the health benefits and concerns of eating a Chicken Teriyaki Roll?

The Chicken Teriyaki Roll offers a good source of protein and some micronutrients such as selenium and niacin from chicken. However, it can be high in added sugar and sodium due to the teriyaki sauce. Moderation is key, especially for individuals watching their sodium or sugar intake.

What is the recommended portion size for a Chicken Teriyaki Roll?

How does a Chicken Teriyaki Roll compare to other sushi rolls?

Compared to raw fish-based rolls like tuna or salmon rolls, a Chicken Teriyaki Roll is higher in calories and sugar due to the teriyaki sauce and cooked chicken. It may also lack the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish-based rolls, but it is a good option for those seeking a fully cooked alternative.
