Rolling sushi at home can be tedious. The Sushi Bake solves this by layering seasoned rice, creamy crab salad, and spicy mayo in a baking dish, heating it up, and serving it family-style.

Ingredients You Need

• 3 cups cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, salt)
• 1 lb imitation crab meat, shredded
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup Kewpie mayo
• 2 tbsp Sriracha
• Furikake seasoning
• Roasted seaweed snacks (nori) for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Press the seasoned sushi rice evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle generously with Furikake.

3. In a bowl, mix the shredded crab, softened cream cheese, Kewpie mayo, and Sriracha until well combined.

4. Spread the creamy crab mixture evenly over the rice layer.

5. Bake for 15 minutes until the top is bubbly and lightly browned. Drizzle with extra mayo and Sriracha.

6. To eat, scoop a spoonful onto a small piece of roasted seaweed.
