    What is Sushi Bake?

    Sushi Bake is believed to have originated in the Philippines, as a new spin on classic sushi flavors. It is a fusion dish that takes inspiration from the traditional Japanese sushi. And adapts it into casserole-style dish.

    It starts with a layer of seasoned sushi rice, then a mixture of cooked seafood with creamy sauce and finished with various toppings to add extra flavours.

    This sushi bake recipe is a convenient and a shareable way to enjoy the flavours without the need of precise rolling.

    • Creamy Sauce: made from cream cheese and kewpie mayo. You can find kewpie mayo in any grocery store, international isle or asian store.
    • Furikake: this adds more flavour to the dish.
    • Toppings: you can top your baked sushi with avocado, green onions or mango. And a touch with sriracha sauce to complete.
    • Roasted Seaweed Snacks: you will find them in any grocery store or asian store.
