Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8X8 square pan with oil and keep it aside.
In a medium bowl combine cooked sushi rice and rice vinegar.Mix it well and keep it aside.
In another medium bowl combine imitation crab, cream cheese, mayonnaise and sriracha. Mix it well and keep it aside.
Now transfer the rice mixture to the prepared square pan and press the rice firmly to form a uniform layer.
Sprinkle about a tablespoon of furikake over the rice layer evenly.
Then spread the crab mixture over the rice and spread to form a uniform layer. Bake them in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Once done, allow the baked sushi to rest for 10 minutes. Arrange the avocado slices on top and sprinkle with the remaining furikake seasonings. Garnish it with green onions and a drizzle of sriracha on top.
Slice them to equal squares and serve them on a nori sheet to enjoy.
Notes
Rinse the rice before cooking. This removes the starch, which can make the rice gummy.
Use short or medium grain rice or sushi rice.
Add the vinegar to the rice while it’s hot.
Grease the pan well to prevent the rice from sticking.
Allow the rice to cool before pressing it into the pan, and it will stick together better.
Imitation crab meat is inexpensive, but you can easily use real crab, salmon, or favorite fish.
Prep all of your sushi bake ingredients while the rice cooks.
