Cooking Time: 15 minutesPreperation Time: 30 minutes

Prepare sushi rice

Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to taste, and let it cool to room temperature.

Prep ingredients

Chop the imitation crab or seafood mix into small pieces. Mix with mayonnaise, cream cheese, and sriracha or spicy mayo sauce to create the filling. Slice any additional fillings like cucumber or avocado, if desired.

Assemble sushi rolls

Spread the sushi rice evenly on nori sheets, leaving a small margin at the top. Add the seafood and cream cheese mixture along with any additional fillings. Roll the nori tightly into a log, using a bamboo sushi mat.

Add toppings

Place the sushi rolls in a baking dish. Spread mayonnaise and sriracha sauce over the rolls and top with shredded cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Serve

Slice the baked sushi rolls into pieces. Garnish with sesame seeds or tobiko and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
