Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and adjust your oven racks if necessary.
In a bowl, tear the imitation crab meat into thin strands and mix with softened cream cheese, Kewpie mayo, and Sriracha.
In a separate bowl, fold rice vinegar into warm prepared sushi rice, then spread evenly in a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle half of the furikake seasoning over the rice, then dollop the creamy crab mixture on top and spread evenly.
Drizzle additional Kewpie mayo and Sriracha over the top in a decorative pattern.
Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, garnish with green onions, and serve warm with nori sheets.
