Ingredients

Scale

Rice Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked short-grain sushi rice
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Spicy Mayo Sauce

  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

Toppings

  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 1 small carrot, shredded
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 2 stalks green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 nori sheets, crumbled or cut into strips
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish to ensure the sushi bake doesn’t stick during cooking.
  2. Season the rice: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir well so that the rice is evenly flavored.
  3. Make spicy mayo: In another bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce until smooth and well blended.
  4. Assemble base layer: Spread the seasoned rice evenly in the prepared baking dish, pressing it down gently to form a compact layer.
  5. Add spicy mayo layer: Spoon the spicy mayo mixture over the rice layer and smooth it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Add vegetable toppings: Sprinkle the shredded carrots and diced cucumbers evenly on top of the spicy mayo layer.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden around the edges.
  8. Rest: Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly and set.
  9. Final toppings: Top the baked sushi with diced avocado, chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and crumbled nori sheets. Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice for added freshness.
  10. Serve: Scoop portions and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use short-grain sushi rice for the best texture and stickiness.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to taste for desired spice level.
  • To make this gluten-free, ensure to use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • The baking step helps meld flavors and slightly crisps the edges for a more interesting texture.
  • Ensure the baking dish is greased well to facilitate easy serving.
  • This dish is best served warm but can be refrigerated and reheated within 1-2 days.
  • Feel free to add pickled ginger or wasabi on the side for a more authentic sushi flavor experience.
