Why You’ll Love This Sushi Bake Recipe
This baked dish is inspired by the flavors and ingredients of hot and creamy sushi rolls. If you love Philadelphia rolls or fried shrimp rolls 🍣, you will adore the taste and texture of this dish: a crisp broiled top with layers of rich dairy, salty shrimp, and chewy rice. Also, it’s endlessly customizable, from the type of rice to the seafood and toppings.
How to Prepare This Sushi Bake Recipe
♨️ Preheat the oven to 400F. 🍚 Rinse the rice and cook it as per the package instructions. I like to use my rice cooker and I add a nice pinch of salt to flavour it. 🥣 In a bowl, add the softened cream cheese, mayo, sriracha, sesame oil, and coconut aminos and mix well. Then add the shrimp to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine. 🥄 Take a small baking dish or ramekin and press down the cooked rice with the back of a spoon. Add the shrimp mixture on top of the rice and distribute it evenly with the back of a spoon. ⏲️ Bake, uncovered, for 12 minutes. Switch the oven setting to broil (top of the oven only) and keep a very close eye on the dish as it broils. I like to broil the top for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. 🥑 Lastly, remove the dish from the oven and top with any of the optional garnishes. Enjoy with small sheets of nori.
Variations and Substitutions For This Sushi Bake Recipe
Best Served With
I love to load these with toppings, like spicy mayo, which can be purchased, such as this Lee Kum Kee-brand sriracha mayo, or prepared homemade. There are so many delicious ways to scoop up the sushi bake: with sheets of nori (seaweed), nori crackers, rice crackers, or crisp leaves of lettuce, such as baby romaine or endive. If serving this dish as an appetizer, follow it with some super comforting Ramen Noodle Soup.
