SUSHI ROLL CASSEROLE
Another viral trend that is a fun twist on sushi! Don’t worry about trying to master a sushi roll with this recipe. This is so easy to make and has all of your favorite Asian inspired flavors.
WHAT IS A SUSHI BAKE?
A sushi bake is basically a sushi roll deconstructed into a casserole dish. Layers of rice, imitation crab, cream cheese, sriracha and yum yum sauce served on top of sheets of seaweed.
INGREDIENT OPTIONS:
Sriracha can be skipped in the crab mix if you want to reduce the heat. Likewise, you can also go a little heavy handed with the drizzle if you really enjoy the flavor.
I highly recommend using Kewpie Mayo as it’s Japanese mayo and has a different flavor. Brands like Hellman’s just will not taste right with this recipe.
Sprinkle chopped green onions on before serving for an added pop of flavor.
HOW TO SERVE A SUSHI BAKE
Serve this sushi casserole as is from the casserole dish. Or serve on top or sprinkled with Nori seaweed sheets.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
