What is a Sushi Bake?

A sushi bake is like a deconstructed sushi roll. I like to think of it as a casserole version of a California roll. It is warm, rich, and a fun Asian fusion dish to make and share with family and friends! Plus unlike traditional sushi, it is super easy to make, and doesn’t require any fancy skills.

Sushi Bake Recipe Modifications

SEAFOOD. There are many different variations that you can make. Instead of a spicy crab sushi bake, you could opt for cooked shrimp, salmon, canned tuna, or a combo. It is really hard to mess up so you can make it with whatever seafood you like.

MAYO. My preference is to use Japanese or kewpie mayo. It is made with only eggs yolks compared to whole eggs in regular mayo. It has a richer flavor but it’s not a super huge difference so if you are in a pinch or cannot find Japanese mayo, regular mayo will work.

SUSHI RICE. Ideally I would use short grain rice to get the texture of traditional sushi but any kind of rice will do. I prefer just plain rice but you can turn it into seasoned sushi rice by mixing in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to the cooked rice.

How to Eat a Sushi Bake

After the sushi bake is removed from the oven, I like to sprinkle green onions on top. I serve it with roasted seaweed, cucumbers, avocado, spicy mayo, and eel sauce on the side. Everyone can then build their own little hand roll and add whatever toppings they want to it!
