Ingredients

Scale

Rice Mixture

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

Spicy Mayo Sauce

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

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. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Season Rice: In a bowl, combine the cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix gently until the rice is evenly seasoned and slightly sticky.
  3. Make Spicy Mayo: In another bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce or tamari until smooth and well blended.
  4. Layer Rice: Spread the seasoned rice evenly in the prepared baking dish, pressing it down gently to create a firm base layer.
  5. Add Spicy Mayo: Spoon the spicy mayo mixture over the rice layer and smooth it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Add Vegetables: Scatter shredded carrots and diced cucumbers evenly on top of the spicy mayo layer.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the top is bubbling and the edges are golden brown.
  8. Rest: Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes to set and cool slightly.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Top the bake with diced avocado, chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, nori strips, and a drizzle of lemon juice if using. Serve warm and enjoy your vegan sushi bake.

Notes

  • Use short-grain sushi rice for the best texture adherence in the bake.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of toasted sesame oil to the rice mixture.
  • Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sriracha according to your taste.
  • Optional lemon juice adds a bright, fresh note to the final dish.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
