Sushi Bake

I love making this sushi bake for dinner parties because it's one of those dishes that somehow disappears before you even notice! With a layer of seasoned sushi rice on the bottom with a spicy crab topping, it's warm, creamy, and easily sharable!

Ingredients

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

Sushi Bake Topping

  • 1 cup imitation crab meat or real crab finely shredded
  • ½ cup canned tuna drained
  • 2 scallion whites finely sliced
  • 3 tbsp mayo

  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Garnishes

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the vinegar mixture to warm sushi rice and mix while gently fanning to evenly coat the rice. Set aside.
  • Finely slice the scallion whites. Shred the crab meat by hand or chop it finely.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, canned tuna, scallion whites, mayo, sriracha, salt, sugar, and sesame oil. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  • In an oven-safe dish, layer the seasoned sushi rice evenly along the bottom, then spread the crab-tuna mixture over the top.
  • Broil at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or 500°F (260°C) for 5 minutes until golden and slightly caramelized.
  • Top with eel sauce and furikake. Optionally garnish with avocado, scallions, and sesame seeds.
