Vegan Sushi Bake

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Vegan Sushi Bake is the perfect solution that will satisfy your sushi cravings with ease. All the classic flavors in sushi are baked until golden perfection and enjoyed with some nori and avocado.

Originally posted on September 22th, 2022. Modified on June 24th, 2025.

What is Vegan Sushi Bake?

Sushi Bake is essentially a sushi casserole usually made with spicy salmon or surimi. In this plant-based version, I used firm tofu and marinated it in a spicy (vegan) mayo sauce!

Sushi Bake is much easier to make than traditional sushi, and fun to make and eat. If you are craving sushi but are too tired to make the rolls, this Vegan Sushi Bake is the perfect solution! It's also perfect to take to a potluck, or dinner party. This recipe is full of classic sushi flavors from the nori sheet, spicy sriracha & mayo and furikake rice seasoning!

Ingredients and substitutions

Vegan Sushi Bake ingredients

First, make the rice like with traditional sushi:

  • You can use short-grained or sushi rice. Other types of white rice would also work for this recipe (jasmine or basmati).
  • Cook on the stove top or in the rice cooker like you would with normal rice.
  • Then season with sugar, salt and rice vinegar.

To make the Tofu filling, you'll need:

  • Tofu: I chose regular firm tofu for this recipe
  • Vegan mayonnaise
  • Sriracha
  • Sesame oil
  • Green onions: can swap with coriander

After baking the sushi, add optional toppings to the sushi bake for more flavors:

  • Avocado slices
  • Cucumber slices
  • White or black sesame seeds
  • A generous drizzle of sriracha & vegan mayo

Other alternatives to topping are:

  • Shredded nori
  • Shredded carrots

How to make Vegan Sushi Bake

Thinly cut the firmed tofu and green onion into small equal-sized pieces.

Thinly slice the tofu into cubes

Marinate the tofu cubes with the soy sauce, vegan mayo, sriracha and chopped scallions.

In a baking dish, assemble the layers of the vegan sushi bake:

In a baking dish, spread the cooked rice evenly as the base layer.

Layer the marinated tofu on top of the rice.

Bake the Sushi Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the top layer turns slightly golden. Top with avocado, cucumber slices, sriracha, vegan mayo and sesame seeds.

Bake in the oven until golden and crispy

Bake the Sushi dish until golden and crispy.

Top the avocado slices, vegan mayo, sriracha, cucumber

Add the toppings.

How to serve this recipe?

You can serve this by scooping with a spoon or nori. Make sure to grab all the ingredients so that you can have all the flavors in that magic bite!

Substitutions

  1. Sushi Rice: If you don't have sushi rice, you can substitute it with short-grain white rice or brown rice. Keep in mind that the texture and stickiness may vary slightly.
  2. Rice Vinegar: If you don't have rice vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar as a substitute. However, rice vinegar provides the authentic sushi flavor.
  3. Vegetables: Feel free to customize the vegetable fillings based on your preference. You can add ingredients like thinly sliced bell peppers, radishes, carrots or even shredded mushrooms for added variety.

Storage Tips

How to Store the Vegan Sushi Bake:

  1. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  2. To reheat, gently scoop out individual portions and warm them in the microwave or bake them in the oven at a low temperature until heated through.
  3. Keep in mind that the texture of the Vegan Sushi Bake may change slightly upon reheating, but it will still be delicious.

    Really nice recipe and easy to make! I added carrots and Paprika to the toppings. It’s nice that you can have many variants of this dish by just changing the toppings!

    Looked really nice once it was baked but I felt the tofu was a bit lacking in flavor. I think maybe marinating the tofu in more soy sauce and sesame oil and letting it sit for a few minutes before adding the sriracha and mayo would add more umami. Otherwise I think the recipe is good.
