Spicy Crab Sushi Casserole

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked sticky rice
  • 10 ounces imitation crabmeat, about 1/2 a bag
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (more for spicier, less for more mild)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, crushed
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Nori Goma Furikake (any kind of furikake will do, experiment to see how much you like to use)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper

Method

  1. Press the cooked sticky rice into an 11x7 dish to form a layer roughly 1 1/2 inches thick.
  2. Sprinkle the furikake seasoning evenly across the surface of the rice.
  3. Take the imitation crabmeat and shred it into thin slivers, about 1/4 inch wide, in a separate mixing bowl.
  4. Combine the shredded crab with the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, crushed garlic, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper, mixing until well incorporated.
  5. Distribute the spicy crab mixture evenly over the rice and furikake layer.
  6. The casserole is now ready to serve.
