Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Rice Mix

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

Spicy Vegan Mayo

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

Toppings and Garnishes

  • 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 and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to ensure the rice bake doesn’t stick during cooking.
  2. Season the Rice: In a large bowl, combine the cooked short-grain sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix gently to evenly season the rice.
  3. Make Spicy Vegan Mayo: In a separate bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce or tamari until smooth and well combined.
  4. Layer the Rice: Spread the seasoned rice evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing it gently to create a firm, even layer.
  5. Add Spicy Mayo Layer: Spoon the spicy vegan mayo mixture over the rice layer and smooth out the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  6. Add Fresh Vegetables: Sprinkle shredded carrots and diced cucumbers evenly over the spicy mayo layer.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the top is bubbling and golden around the edges.
  8. Rest: Remove the bake from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes to set and cool slightly for easier serving.
  9. Garnish: Top the baked sushi with diced avocado, chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and crumbled or sliced nori. Add a drizzle of lemon juice if using for extra brightness.
  10. Serve: Scoop portions and serve warm as a comforting, vegan twist on sushi that’s easy to enjoy without rolling.

Notes

  • You can substitute tamari for soy sauce to make this gluten-free.
  • Use short-grain sushi rice for the best sticky texture.
  • If you like it spicier, add more sriracha to the vegan mayo mix.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables or vegan proteins like tofu for variety.
