  • Imitation crab– You can use real crab meat if you’d rather but the imitation works perfectly in this.
  • Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature first
  • Mayo– Kewpie mayo. Don’t substitute it. It has a distinct flavor you’ll want for this.
  • Sriracha– Again don’t substitute a different hot sauce.
  • Sushi rice– Cooked according to the directions on the package.
  • Vinegar– Rice vinegar
  • Furikake seasoning– A Japanese seasoning blend you can buy online
  • Green onions– Sliced
  • Nori– For serving

How to Make

This sushi bake is so much easier to make than sushi!

To do it, preheat the oven to 400.

While the oven heats, shred or finely dice the imitation crab and put it in a large bowl.

Then, mix the the cream cheese, kewpie mayo, and sriracha into the imitation crab until it’s completely mixed.

Set the mixture aside.

Tips and Tricks

  • If you don’t want it to have a kick, you can reduce the amount of sriracha.
  • The kewpie mayo is really important in this. Substituting a different brand will really change the flavor of the dish. I don’t recommend this.
  • You can serve the finished dish on pieces of cucumber or avocado for a sort of California roll experience.

    This recipe is fantastic! I highly recommend it. Easy to follow. I didn’t want left over cream cheese so I did a whole block of cream cheese and a bit more imitation crab. I also added chopped up cooked shrimp and salmon to it. Brought it to a party and it was a hit! Saving this recipe for future use

Reduce the power of your microwave to 40% or 50%. This means you'll be heating it at 500 watts. You'll want to heat it in very short bursts of no more than 30 seconds at a time.
