    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
    1. Mix the rice vinegar, salt, and granulated sugar in a bowl.
    1. Using a saucepan, warm the mixture on low heat until the sugar dissolves.

    1. In a different bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, imitation crab, and cream cheese until smooth.
    1. Then, add the diced mango and cucumber pieces.
    1. Layer your casserole by placing the sushi rice on the bottom.
    1. Spread the creamy mixture on top of the rice.
    1. Top with the furikake.
    1. Bake for between 15-20 minutes.

    Substitutions

    • Vinegar — When it comes to making sushi rice, rice vinegar is the best. If you’re short on rice vinegar, there are lots of options to go with. White wine vinegar comes to mind, followed by apple cider vinegar.
    • Avocado and cucumber — This one comes down to personal preference. While you could substitute these two for each other freely, there is no doubt that avocado comes first when nutritional value is concerned. Just make sure that you use one of these, as they improve this sushi bake recipe immensely.
    • Cottage cheese — If you do not have cream cheese, you could splash a bit of lemon juice on top of cottage cheese to substitute for it.

    Variations

    • Salmon — Not a fan of imitation crab meat? Try your luck with salmon! It’s better when it comes to nutritional value, especially the omega-3 fat.
    • Seaweed sheets — Cut yourself a slice of sushi bake and serve it on top of seaweed sheets.
    • Wasabi — No sushi is complete without wasabi. The same goes for this sushi bake recipe too.

    Equipment

    • 9 x 9 casserole dish.
    • Measuring spoons and cups.
    • 2 medium-sized mixing bowls.
    • Saucepan.
    • Oven.

    Storage

    • You can store this creamy, delightful sushi bake in an airtight container, in your fridge for up to 4 days.

    Tips

    • Go with short grain — If you didn’t know, sushi rice is not a type of rice. It’s just your standard rice cooked and seasoned with a special sauce. In that case, short-grain rice is more than ideal, as its higher starch content results in a sticky texture. Keep in mind that store-bought sushi rice is almost always made from short grain.
    • Take care of the rice — Before cooking the rice, make sure that you rinse it to get rid of the excess starch. It makes a big difference.
    • Use baking spray — If your baking dish is not nonstick, make sure to grease it with baking spray before starting.
