Sushi Bake Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sushi Bake Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by soaking your dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for about 5 to 10 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their rich flavor.

2. Step 2

   While the mushrooms are soaking, preheat your oven's broiler and adjust the oven rack to sit about 6 inches from the heat source.

3. Step 3

   Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

4. Step 4

   Once your mushrooms are ready, drain them and gently squeeze out any excess water to ensure they’re not too soggy.

5. Step 5

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened mushrooms with shredded imitation crabmeat, creamy mayonnaise, tangy sour cream, and, if you’re feeling adventurous, some tobiko for a delightful pop of flavor.

6. Step 6

   Don’t forget to add sliced kamaboko for an extra layer of taste! Mix everything together until well combined, creating a delicious filling.

7. Step 7

   Now, spread your cooked short-grain rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle aji nori furikake generously over the rice for that umami kick.

8. Step 8

   Next, layer the mushroom and crab mixture evenly on top of the rice and furikake, making sure every bite will be packed with flavor.

9. Step 9

   Place the dish under the broiler and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the top is beautifully browned and bubbly, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.

10. Step 10

    Once it’s done, carefully remove the dish from the oven and slice the sushi bake into 24 portions while it’s still in the baking dish.

11. Step 11

    To serve, take a generous portion and place it onto a sheet of seasoned Korean seaweed.

12. Step 12

    Wrap it up loosely, and enjoy this delightful fusion of flavors right away! Each bite is a warm, comforting hug that’s perfect for sharing with friends and family.
