Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound imitation crab meat shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 sheet nori cut into small strips (optional)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine it with water in a pot.
  3. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  4. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the warm rice and set aside to cool slightly.
  6. In another bowl, blend the shredded imitation crab meat with mayonnaise, sriracha, and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  7. In a baking dish, layer the sushi rice evenly on the bottom, followed by the crab mixture, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and add nori strips for an extra touch.
  10. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm and savor the delightful flavors!
