Vegan Sushi Bake is the perfect solution for when you crave sushi but don't have the time and energy to make it. All the classic flavors are baked until golden perfection and enjoyed with some nori!
What is Vegan Sushi Bake?
Not sure how this recipe came about, but I have seen many people on TikTok make it. Sushi Bake is basically a sushi casserole usually made with spicy salmon or surimi. In this plant-based version, I used a combination of oyster mushroom and smoked tofu and marinade them in a spicy (vegan) mayo sauce!
It is WAY easier to make than traditional sushi, and fun to make and eat. Bring this recipe 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
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 Mushroom & Tofu filling, you'll need:
- Oyster mushrooms: these mushrooms have a chewy, meaty taste and texture that work perfect here. Alternatively, you can use other types of mushrooms such as cremini mushroom, king oyster, and enoki mushroom.
- Tofu: I chose smoked tofu for a smoky flavors, but you can also use regular firm tofu.
- Vegan mayonnaise
- Sriracha
- Sesame oil
- Green onions: can swap with coriander
After baking the sushi, the toppings bring the sushi bake to life:
- Avocado slices
- Cucumber slices
- White or black sesame seeds
- A generous drizzle of vegan sriracha mayo
Other alternatives to topping are:
- Shredded nori
- Shredded carrots
