Equipment

  • Rice Cooker
  • 9 x 13 Baking Dish

Ingredients

Sushi Rice:

  • 2 cups Uncooked sushi rice
  • 2 ¼ cups Water
  • ¼ cup Seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sesame oil or Pan spray
  • Furikake

Crab Layer:

  • 1 lb imitation crab meat
  • ½ cup Kewpie mayo
  • Sriracha to taste
  • 1 egg
  • Black sesame seeds

Topping:

  • cup Kewpie Mayo
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha

To Serve:

  • Cucumber
  • Green Onions
  • Nori sheets

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.

Sushi Rice

  • Rinse rice well. Add rice and water to rice cooker, and set to cook.
  • In a small sauce pan, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat on low setting until sugar and salt dissolve.
  • Once rice is cooked, dump the hot rice into a large mixing bowl. Fold the vinegar mixture into the rice carefully, being careful not to mush it.
  • Add the toasted sesame seeds, gently fold in.
  • Grease pan with sesame oil or pan spray. Spread rice mixture in pan, press to flatten a bit. Sprinkle with a nice layer of furikake, set aside.

Crab Layer:

  • Remove packaging from imitation crab, if applicable. Chop up or run through a food processor, like I did.
  • Add mayo, stir well to combine. Season with sriracha, to taste.
  • Crack egg into the bowl, beat to break up, then mix well to fully combine.
  • Spread crab mixture in pan, top with another thin layer of furikake. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds.

Topping:

  • Mix together remaining ⅓ cup of mayo and sriracha.
    Drizzle over the sushi casserole - I used a pastry bag, but a spoon works fine.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
    Serve hot, garnished with cucumbers, nori, green onion, and anything else you'd like!
