Method
- Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear, soak it 15 minutes if you have time, then simmer it in the water with the salt, covered, for 20 minutes. Rest it, still covered, for 10 minutes and fluff it.
- Warm the rice vinegar, sugar and sesame oil together — 30 seconds in the microwave is enough — until the sugar dissolves, then fold it through the rice until every grain is coated and sticky.
- Stir the spicy mayo ingredients together in a small bowl until creamy and set it aside.
- Mix the crab, finely chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, cream cheese, soy sauce, sesame oil, sambal or sriracha, lime juice and green onions for the filling until evenly combined.
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Press the rice into a casserole dish or 9x9-inch pan, cover it with a layer of nori or furikake, and spread all the crab and shrimp mixture over the top.
- Bake 10 to 15 minutes until the top is golden, broiling briefly at the end for more colour if you watch it closely.
- Serve the bake drizzled with spicy mayo and unagi sauce, topped with avocado, green onions and sesame seeds, scooped with nori.
