  • ½ cup Korean roasted seaweed crumbled or cut into small bits
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar to taste

CREAMY TOPPING

  • 1 big ripe mango diced

  • 2 cups Kani shredded or cut into chunks
  • 200 grams cream cheese
  • ¼ cup Japanese mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha - adjust as desired
  • salt to taste
  • 20 sheets Korean roasted seaweed sheets - or use nori sheets

Instructions

SUSHI RICE

  • Mix the rice vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small bowl, mix well. Pop it in the microwave to warm until salt and sugar are totally dissolved.
  • Pour the mixture to the freshly cooked rice and toss until evenly distributed.

FURIKAKE

  • Using very low heat, toast the sesame seeds until fragrant and golden. Mix the crumbled nori pieces. Season with salt and sugar

CREAMY TOPPING

  • In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, Japanese mayonnaise, and Sriracha, then mix.
  • Add in the chopped Kani, ¾ of the mango, and ¾ of the cucumber. Make sure to leave enough mango and cucumber for additional layering later. Add salt to taste.

BAKED SUSHI ASSEMBLY

  • In a rectangle pan (8x6in), spread the sushi rice evenly then lightly press down. Sprinkle a thin layer of Fukikake on top of rice until fully covered.
  • Add the creamy topping then spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mango and cucumber bits and a bit more Furikake on top. Drizzle with Japanese Mayonnaise and Sriracha if desired.
  • Bake at 200°C/390°F for 15 to 20 minutes. Enjoy by scooping a portion then wrapping it in nori.
