Baked Sushi Recipe

Hello to all my foodie friends!
Another new week, another new recipe!

This time I will be cooking a Japanese recipe with a twist—not your typical sushi roll but instead a baked one in a casserole. If you're interested in this kind of cuisine, come along, as I will list the complete ingredients and how I prepare it so you can try it too.

Just to be clear, I'm not a pro at cooking; all I know about cooking comes from years of experience cooking for our family and my hobby of watching food shows and cooking videos on YouTube. I welcome all of your suggestions to help me develop my culinary skills and knowledge.

Just a quick introduction to the dish. Baked Sushi was previously popular On TikTok and Facebook. Because so many influencers and famous people are posting videos of themselves eating this dish, I decided to attempt making it myself after researching recipes online and selecting the finest options. Actually, I've cooked it three times now. My first attempt wasn't that good since I used crab sticks of poor quality, so I was unsatisfied. It worked the second time around! On my third try, I added cream cheese to further enhance the flavor and creaminess.

Let's start cooking!

Here is the complete list of ingredients I used in this recipe.

Ingredients:

Sushi Rice

• 3 cups cooked rice
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• Furekake seasoning

Creamy Topping

• 1 cup of shredded and cut crab sticks
• 1/2 cup Japanese Mayonnaise
• 1 large ripe mango diced
• 100 grams cream cheese
• 2 tbsp Sriracha
• pinch of salt
• cheese (optional)
• Nori sheets

Procedure:

• Make the Sushi rice. Mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.

• In a bake-safe pan, combine fresh cooked rice (you can use Japanese short grain rice for more sticker rice; since I didn't have any, I just used regular white rice) and sesame oil. Add the vinegar mixture and toss it altogether.

• Spread the rice evenly and press it down lightly.

• Sprinkle furekake seasoning on top of the rice. Cover before setting aside to keep the rice moist.

• Prepare the topping. In a big bowl, combine the cream cheese and the Japanese Mayo. Mix until well incorporated.

• Add the crab sticks and diced mango (reserve some mango for toppings later) to the cream cheese and Mayo mixture. Mix well.

• Add the Sriracha.

• Assemble the sushi. Add the creamy topping to the rice layer that you set aside earlier. Spread it evenly.

• Add the cheese and the remaining mango. Sprinkle a bit more furikake to add more color on top of the sushi bake.

• Drizzle some Japanese mayo and Sriracha for the final touch before baking.

• Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes.

• Serve and enjoy by scooping a spoonful and wrapping it in nori.

There you have it, my creamiest and savory baked sushi recipe. I didn't post it until I was satisfied with the taste.😄

I baked two trays and gave one to my neighbors so they could try them. I was happy to hear positive remarks, and one of them is already asking if I can bake some for her birthday.

I hope you enjoyed it and gave it a try too. I would love to hear your feedback!

That's all for me today, see you on my next one!
