How to Make Sushi Bake

  • Clean the rice. To make the sushi rice, first clean the rice by placing it in a fine-mesh sieve. Then run it under cold water for about a minute, making sure to mix it around with a spoon.
  • Cook the rice. Now place the rice in a rice cooker with the water and turn it on. Once it's done cooking, transfer it to a 13×9-inch rimmed baking sheet that has been buttered (to avoid sticking).
  • Cool. Pour the seasoned rice vinegar over the hot rice and fold it in gently with a rice paddle to avoid mashing it. Then set it aside to cool.

  • Bake. Place the sushi bake in a 380-degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes. If you prefer a more baked flavor, you can broil it for a few minutes. Just be careful that it doesn't burn.
  • Make the spicy mayo. Now add the Japanese mayo to the Sriracha and stir.
  • Garnish the sushi bake. When the sushi bake is done, drizzle it with the spicy mayo and Sriracha. Then garnish it with chopped green onion (optional).
  • Serve. Cut out squares of nori and place some of the sushi bake on top. Enjoy.

Tips for making the Best Sushi Bake

There are a few things you can do to ensure that your Sushi Bake comes out perfect:

  • Wash the rice- Before cooking the rice, you want to make sure to thoroughly wash it to remove surface starch, which can cause the rice to become gummy as it cooks.
  • Add the rice vinegar to hot rice- When rice is hot, it is better able to absorb the vinegar. The acidity of the vinegar then breaks down the starch inside the rice, making it even more absorbent and fluffy when cooked.
  • Butter the baking sheet- Greasing the baking sheet with butter keeps the rice from sticking and burning. This also makes it easier to scoop out when serving.
  • Compress the rice once cooled. After the rice has cooled, the grains will hold their shape better. Compressing it into the baking sheet helps the sushi bake hold together once cooked.

How to Store and Reheat it

Store the Sushi Bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days. Then reheat it in the microwave or in the oven until warmed through.

Full Recipe Instructions

Easy Sushi Bake on a white plate with chopsticks, and a bowl of crumbled nori in the background.

Cook, season, cool the rice

  • Start off by making the sushi rice first. To clean the rice, add 1 1/2 cups of 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 2 cups of water and turn it on. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a 13×9 inch rimmed (buttered) baking sheet. The butter will help the rice from sticking to the bottom.

  • 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.

Make the crab mixture

  • Now for the crab mixture: In a bowl, add 8 oz finely chopped imitation crab, 1/4 cup Japanese mayonnaise (or regular Mayo) 2 oz softened cream cheese, and 1 Tbsp sriracha.

  • Mix everything together until all the ingredients are well combined.

Assemble and bake the sushi bake

  • Now evenly spread and compress the cooled sushi rice into the baking sheet. Then add 1 tablespoon furikake of your choice over the rice.

  • Then spread the spicy crab mixture over the rice and bake in the oven at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. If you want a more baked flavor, you can broil the sushi bake for a few minutes in the oven. Just make sure to keep an eye on it so it does not burn.

Make the spicy mayo

  • Now make the spicy sushi mayo by combining 1/2 cup Japanese mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons of sriracha.

  • Once the sushi bake is done, drizzle some sriracha and spicy mayonnaise on top. Then garnish with chopped green onion but that's optional.

  • To serve sushi bake, cut out squares of nori (toasted seaweed) and place your desired amount of the warm sushi bake on top.

How To Store Sushi Bake

Store the Sushi Bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days. Then reheat it in the microwave or in the oven until warmed through.
