Easy Sushi Bake

Start off by making the sushi rice first. To clean the rice, add the dry Calrose Sushi Rice into a fine-mesh sieve. Then run it under cold water for about 1 minute making sure to mix the rice around with a spoon.

Then place the rice in your rice cooker and add the water and turn it on. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a rimmed baking sheet. Now pour 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar over the rice and fold it in. You want to use a rice paddle to do this. Make sure to be gentle with the rice and not mash it up. Then set that aside and let it cool.

Now for the crab mixture: In a bowl, add the chopped imitation crab, chopped tempura shrimp, Japanese mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, and 1 Tbsp sriracha.

Mix everything together until all the ingredients are well combined.

Now evenly spread and compress the cooled sushi rice into the baking sheet. Then add 3 Tbsp furikake of your choice over the rice.

Then spread the spicy crab mixture over the rice and broil for 4 minutes in the oven.

Once the sushi bake is done, drizzle some spicy mayonnaise and Ungai on top. Then garnish with chopped cucumber, furikake, and green onion (optional).
