Ingredients

• 2 cups Short-grain sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Imitation crab sticks
• 0.5 cup Japanese mayonnaise (vegan)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 3 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved.

Step 5

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture until well combined. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Chop the imitation crab sticks into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped crab sticks, vegan Japanese mayonnaise, soy sauce, and sriracha sauce. Mix well to coat the crab thoroughly.

Step 8

Thinly slice the green onions and avocado. Set aside.

Step 9

Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with nori sheets. Spread the cooled sushi rice evenly over the nori.

Step 10

Top the rice with the crab mixture, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Layer the sliced avocado over the crab mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the top is slightly golden and the mixture is warmed through.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into squares.

Step 14

Serve warm with additional soy sauce or sriracha on the side, if desired.
