  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Rice Layer

  • 3 cups cooked sushi rice

Crab Mixture

  • 1 pound imitation crab meat (shredded)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust according to spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Topping

  • 1/4 cup furikake (Japanese rice seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

Serving

  • Nori strips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sushi bake.
  2. Prepare Rice Layer: Spread the cooked sushi rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish, pressing down firmly to create a compact, even base.
  3. Make Crab Mixture: In a large bowl, combine shredded imitation crab meat, softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup Kewpie mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sriracha, soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  4. Assemble Layers: Spread the crab and cream cheese mixture evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish.
  5. Add Furikake: Sprinkle the furikake seasoning over the top of the crab mixture to add texture and authentic flavor.
  6. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, then drizzle this spicy mayo evenly over the top layer.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden, bubbly, and heated through.
  8. Serve: Allow the sushi bake to cool slightly. Serve by scooping portions onto nori strips if desired. Roll and enjoy as a flavorful, warm sushi-inspired treat.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha amounts based on your preferred spice level.
  • Using Kewpie mayonnaise imparts the authentic Japanese creaminess and flavor.
  • Furikake adds a savory, umami crunch, but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for another meal.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure your soy sauce is gluten-free.
