Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup imitation crab, shredded
- 1/2 cup fresh salmon, diced
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional for spice)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 sheets nori, cut into small strips
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Sliced green onions, for garnish
Preparation
Step 1: Cook the Rice
Start by rinsing your sushi rice using a strainer to remove excess starch. Then, cook the rinsed rice in a rice cooker with 2 1/2 cups of water. Once cooked, let it cool down to room temperature before mixing with seasoned rice vinegar.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the imitation crab, fresh salmon, cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, and sriracha. Mix until well-blended and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Bake
Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Spread the cooked sushi rice evenly in a greased baking dish. Layer the crab and salmon mixture over the rice, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 4: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Finally, top the sushi bake with sliced avocado, nori strips, and green onions. Serve warm. For more amazing recipes and tips, check out How to Cook Squash, Cast Iron Griddle Cooking, and Dutch Oven Chicken Recipe.
