Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Tempura
- 12 pieces shrimp tempura
Sushi Rice
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Sauce
- 1/2 cup Japanese mayonnaise (such as Kewpie)
Other
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed), cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Prepare Sushi Rice: In a bowl, mix the cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until well combined and seasoned. Spread the seasoned rice evenly into a baking dish.
- Layer Shrimp Tempura: Arrange the shrimp tempura pieces evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish.
- Add Mayonnaise: Drizzle or spread the Japanese mayonnaise evenly over the shrimp tempura layer to add creaminess and richness.
- Top with Seaweed: Sprinkle the cut nori seaweed pieces evenly over the top to add an authentic sushi flavor and texture.

- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Scoop into portions and enjoy the warm, crispy, and creamy sushi bake.

- Using Japanese mayonnaise adds a richer flavor compared to regular mayo.
- Adjust baking time depending on your oven and dish size; just ensure it is heated through.
- This recipe is best served warm but can be refrigerated and reheated.
- Optional garnish: sprinkle with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
