Ingredients

Scale

Rice Base

  • 2 cups cooked short-grain sushi rice
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Spicy Vegan Mayo Topping

  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

Vegetable Toppings

  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 1 small carrot, shredded
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 2 stalks green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 nori sheets, crumbled or cut into strips
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Season Rice: In a bowl, combine the cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, mixing well to evenly season the rice and enhance its flavor.
  3. Make Spicy Mayo: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce (or tamari) until smooth and well combined for a creamy, spicy topping.
  4. Assemble the Base Layer: Spread the seasoned rice evenly in the prepared baking dish, pressing it down gently to form a compact and even layer.
  5. Add Spicy Mayo Layer: Spoon the spicy vegan mayo mixture over the rice and smooth it out to cover the surface uniformly.
  6. Top with Vegetables: Sprinkle shredded carrots and diced cucumbers evenly over the mayo layer to add freshness and texture.
  7. Bake the Sushi: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the top is bubbling and the edges turn golden brown.
  8. Rest After Baking: Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors settle and make it easier to serve.
  9. Garnish and Finish: Top the baked sushi with diced avocado, chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and crumbled or cut nori sheets. Optionally, sprinkle with lemon juice for brightness.
  10. Serve Warm: Scoop portions of the sushi bake warm onto plates and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use short-grain sushi rice for the best texture and stickiness.
  • Adjust sriracha to taste for milder or spicier heat.
  • Vegan mayonnaise can be substituted with regular mayo if not strictly vegan.
  • Fresh vegetables add a nice crunch; avoid watery veggies to prevent sogginess.
  • This dish can be served as a main or appetizer and pairs well with soy sauce or pickled ginger on the side.
