Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 oz crab meat (imitation or real)
- 8 oz cooked and flaked salmon
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie)
- 1 tbsp sriracha

Instructions

- Spread the creamy seafood mixture evenly over the sushi rice layer.
- Sprinkle furikake generously over the top for added flavor and texture.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with nori sheets for scooping.
