Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked short-grain sushi rice, warm
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp furikake rice seasoning
- 8 oz imitation crab, shredded or finely chopped
- 8 oz fresh salmon, cooked and flaked
- 0.5 cup Japanese mayo (Kewpie)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp unagi sauce (eel sauce)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 packs roasted seaweed snacks (nori sheets)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, season the warm cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix gently to combine.
- Press the seasoned rice firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle a thick, even layer of furikake over the rice to create a seasoned barrier.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the shredded imitation crab, flaked salmon, softened cream cheese, Kewpie mayo, sriracha, and soy sauce. Mix until the proteins are fully emulsified in the sauce.
- Spread the protein mixture evenly over the rice and furikake layer. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbling. For extra char, broil for the last 1 minute, watching carefully.
- Drizzle with unagi sauce and extra sriracha. Top with sliced green onions and fresh diced avocado. Serve warm by scooping into roasted nori sheets.
