Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 lb cooked seafood mix (e.g., imitation crab, shrimp, or fish)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed), cut into strips
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Rinse and cook rice: Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Season rice: Mix rice vinegar and sugar until dissolved. Fold gently into the cooked rice without crushing the grains.
- Prepare seafood mixture: In a medium bowl, combine cooked seafood, mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until evenly coated.
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Assemble bake: Spread seasoned rice evenly in the dish. Layer seafood mixture on top and smooth out. Sprinkle shredded cheese if desired.
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle green onions, sesame seeds, and nori strips over the baked dish. Serve in squares or rectangles, using extra nori for scooping.
Notes
Cheese is optional but adds a golden crust.
For a vegetarian version, replace seafood with tofu or vegetables.
Can be prepared ahead of time by cooking rice and seafood mixture separately.
