This easy sushi bake will satisfy your cravings for sushi and baked rice at the same time – it’s made with shredded tofu and is absolutely DELICIOUS!

When that sushi craving hits you, try this easy sushi bake you can make from the comfort of your home! It requires some steps but that mostly involves putting ingredients together. Especially when you bake and broil it in the oven to crispy perfection, it’s so addictive! You can pair it with a nori sheet and top it with avocado too. This TikTok viral dish is one of those good ones, I swear.

How to Prepare Sushi Rice

First, you would need to prepare your sushi rice. For that, prepare these:

sushi rice
rice wine vinegar
salt
sugar

Rinse the sushi rice 3 to 4 times to remove he excess starch. Bring it to a boil with water and simmer for 18-20 minutes with a lid on. Once done, leave it to cook further in the steam for about 10 minutes.

Vegan Shredded ‘Tofu’ Salmon

This is the most delicious part of the recipe – in traditional sushi bakes, there is usually shredded salmon or imitation crab but we’re using shredded tofu to make it vegan and protein-rich!

You would most need pantry staple ingredients for this like light and dark soy sauce (gluten free if required) and seasonings like onion and garlic powder to boost the flavour profile.

Can I make this Gluten Free?

Absolutely! Just swap out your soy sauces for a gluten free version. Also ensure the vegan mayo and sriracha you’re using are gluten free too!
