Cup of Yum
Notes
- Rice: Japanese short-grain rice, typically labeled sushi or sweet rice, works well for this recipe. You can easily find it at local Asian and Japanese markets or online. For the best texture, make sure to rinse your rice grains until the water runs clear before cooking.
- Protein: Feel free to swap out or add in fresh lump crab, scallops, shrimp, or flaked salmon. You can use various combinations, but just keep in mind that the protein should be already cooked and roughly chopped for adding it to the filling.
- Toppings & Add-Ons: Use your favorite sushi rolls as inspiration to add to your sushi bake! Masago and tobiko are super yummy on top, but only add them on top of the sushi bake AFTER baking or on the side for your guests to add themselves.
