Ingredients

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2.5 cups water
• 1 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound imitation crab meat
• 1.5 cups mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cup furikake seasoning
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 1 avocado
• 2 scallions
• 1 cucumber

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and gives the rice a clean texture.

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or a medium pot. Cook following the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then simmer covered, for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, then remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 4

When the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture until well incorporated. Set aside to let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a separate bowl, shred the imitation crab meat. Add mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and softened cream cheese. Mix until everything is evenly distributed and creamy.

Step 7

Spread the cooled sushi rice in an even layer on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle half of the furikake seasoning over the rice.

Step 8

Evenly spread the crab and cream cheese mixture on top of the rice, then sprinkle the remaining furikake seasoning over the top.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is slightly golden and bubbly.

Step 10

While the bake is in the oven, slice the avocado, cucumbers, and chop the scallions.

Step 11

Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes, then top with sliced avocado, cucumber, and scallions.

Step 12

Serve with nori sheets. Use a spoon to scoop some sushi bake onto a piece of nori, wrap it up, and enjoy!
