Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces imitation crab meat, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon unagi sauce (or teriyaki sauce)
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon furikake seasoning
  • Nori sheets, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until combined. Spread this seasoned rice evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab, mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, sriracha, and unagi sauce. Mix until the topping is creamy and uniform.
  4. Spread the creamy imitation crab mixture evenly over the layer of sushi rice.
  5. Sprinkle the sliced green onions and furikake seasoning over the topping.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the topping is hot and slightly golden brown around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve scoops of the sushi bake with crispy nori sheets for wrapping.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of cooked, flaked salmon to the crab mixture.
  • If you prefer a less spicy dish, reduce the sriracha or omit it entirely.
  • You can broil the bake for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra browning on top, watch carefully to prevent burning.
