Start by preparing sushi rice. Rinse short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice and season it with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Spread the rice into a thin layer in a casserole dish, creating the base of your sushi bake.
For the creamy topping, mix cooked seafood of your choice—like crab, shrimp, or salmon—with mayonnaise and cream cheese. Add a dash of soy sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a hint of sriracha for some heat. Spread this mixture evenly over the rice.
Sprinkle a layer of shredded nori sheets or diced cucumbers on top for a crunchy texture. Then, top it off with a generous layer of shredded cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Serve your sushi bake with seaweed sheets for scooping. Each bite delivers a harmonious blend of creamy, savory, and umami flavors, making it an instant crowd-pleaser at any gathering.
