Instructions:
For Sushi Rice:
- Be sure that you rinse your sushi rice with cold water. This helps to remove excessive levels of starch. You have to make sure that the water runs clear. Once this happens, drain it completely.
- Add 2 cups of water (for every 2 cups of rice), this moistens it up and helps to ensure that it is evenly cooked. Then, simply put it in your rice cooker to complete the process.
- Once the rice is finished, season it up with rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. This is where you can add the furikake seasoning. Now, mix it all up thoroughly. Set aside.
For the Creamy Topping:
- Take a medium bowl, and combine Japanese mayonnaise, sriracha, and cream cheese that is room temperature. Use a hand mixer to make a smooth mixture.
- You can add other ingredients that you like, such as cucumber, imitation crab meat, and any other bit that you like. Be sure to mix everything up nicely. Set aside.
For the Sushi Bake:
- It is time to start preheating the oven. 400°F is the best temperature.
- Take a baking dish and spread out the sushi rice. Press it down just a little. Then, use some furikake Bonita flakes and sprinkles on top.
- Take the creamy topping that you created and spread evenly or cover it on top of the rice.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. You want to ensure that the top is a little bit golden-colored and bubbling a bit.
- Allow the sushi casserole to cool down for 5 or more minutes before adding those toppings that you like.
- Drizzle with the unagi sauce. Sprinkle some Furikake seasoning, seaweed or Nori flakes, fish roe, or any of your favorite toppings.
- Lie roasted nori on plates and scoop the casserole on top and serve! Enjoy!
