Creating your own Sushi Bake is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Rinse the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch.
3. Cook the Rice: Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or on the stovetop until tender.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Mix until smooth.
5. Add Imitation Crab: Gently fold in the shredded imitation crab meat into the cream cheese mixture.
6. Combine Rice and Filling: Once the rice is cooked, mix it with the cream cheese filling until well combined.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the rice and filling mixture evenly into a greased baking dish (9×13 inches works well).
8. Add Toppings: Sprinkle sesame seeds and nori pieces on top of the mixture for added flavor.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
10. Cool Slightly: Once baked, allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the layers set slightly.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible Sushi Bake with ease and efficiency.
