Description
A delightful and easy-to-make sushi bake that combines the flavors of traditional sushi in a warm, baked dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces imitation crab meat, shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Soy sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have a rice cooker, bring the rice and water to a boil in a pot, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool slightly.
- In another bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, sriracha, and cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
- In a greased 9×9 inch baking dish, spread the sushi rice evenly across the bottom.
- Layer the crab mixture over the sushi rice, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with chopped green onions and nori strips.
- Serve warm, garnished with sesame seeds and soy sauce on the side.
Notes
- You can substitute the imitation crab with cooked shrimp or cooked salmon for a different flavor.
- For a vegetarian option, use avocado and cucumber in place of seafood and add a splash of soy sauce for extra flavor.
