Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sushi rice uncooked
  • 3 Nori sheets crumbled over the top of the rice
  • 2 blocks extra-firm tofu grated

Cashew Sriracha Mayo

  • 1 cup Soaked Cashews
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha
  • 4 tsp Maple Syrup
  • 4 tsp Tamari
  • ¾ tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Plant Milk

Toppings

  • More Sriracha mayo
  • Green onions
  • Sesame Seeds

Optional Add-Ons for Serving

  • Nori squares
  • Slices of Avocado
  • Slices of Cucumber
  • Shredded Carrots
  • Shredded Cabbage
  • Cashew sriracha mayo

Instructions
 

  • Cook your sushi rice according to package directions.
  • Once cooked, add it to the bottom of a baking dish. Mine was 14x8, but a similar size will do.
  • Add all the ingredients for your cashew sriracha mayo into a small blender and blend until smooth.
  • Grate both blocks of tofu using a cheese grater and add to a large bowl.
  • Add the cashew sriracha mayo on top, then toss gently with a spatula to combine.
  • Add the tofu on top of the rice, then flatten it evenly with your spatula.
  • Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the top. Observe to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  • Once it’s cooked, add on your toppings of choice. I used more sriracha mayo, sesame seeds, and green onions.
  • You can eat this out of a bowl with some fresh veggies such as carrots, avocado, and green onions. Alternatively, you can add spoonfuls of your sushi bake to a small piece of nori with veggies, then eat it as bite-sized sushi.
