Sushi Bake

 These seem to be a trend lately. We had a Lion King roll at a Sushi place in Hughson recently and it was everything! All I ever want is to order THAT! It's a crab, avocado sushi smothered in a yummy creamy sauce with salmon baked on top. A tiny bit of wasabi and pickled ginger... drool!  I thought maybe I'd try and recreate it for a dinner at a fraction of the cost and it turned out really good. It's been a couple weeks since I made it so I'll have to tweak it next time I make it. 

2 cups Sushi Rice (used about 2 3/4 cups water and cooked in instant pot for about 12 minutes and and did rinse the rice)

Once cooked mix in a tiny sprinkle of sugar and some rice vinegar

2-3 snack packages of seaweed

1 package imitation crab

Green onions diced (just about 1-2)

Rice vinegar (1-2TBSP)

Mayo (about 1/2 cup) add what you like to desired creaminess) you can also add a little bit of cream cheese if you'd like

soy sauce (2 TBSP or so)

sesame oil (1 TBSP)

squirt of sriracha (depending on desired spice level)

paprika (sprinkle in a decent amount)

celery salt ( light sprinkle)

pepper

Mix sauce up in a bowl and stir in with imitation crab and green onions. 

Place rice in bottom of 9x13 pan. Put seaweed sheets to cover the rice. Put crab mixture on top and broil the whole thing until bubbly for about 10 minutes. 

Top with

Sesame seeds

Green onions

sliced baby cucumbers

julienned red, orange or yellow peppers

julienne carrots

sliced avocado

sriracha 

pickled ginger

wasabi
