Description

A warm and creamy sushi-inspired bake made with seasoned rice, tuna, cream cheese, spicy mayo, seaweed, avocado, and cucumber.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cans tuna, drained well
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup seaweed strips
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a medium baking dish.
  2. Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt into the warm cooked sushi rice until evenly seasoned.
  3. Spread the seasoned rice evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce until creamy.
  5. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the rice layer.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until heated through and lightly golden on top.
  7. Sprinkle with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and seaweed strips.
  8. Serve warm with sliced avocado and cucumber on the side.

Notes

  • Drain the tuna very well so the topping stays creamy instead of watery.
  • Use warm rice when seasoning so it absorbs the vinegar mixture better.
  • Reduce the sriracha for a milder version.
  • Add fresh avocado and cucumber right before serving for the best texture.
