My Spicy California Roll Baked Sushi Cups are a fun, handheld way to enjoy all the bold, spicy flavors of your favorite California roll, but no bamboo mat required. These cups are packed with imitation crab, shrimp, sushi rice, and a creamy-spicy filling that bakes up golden and delicious. Plus, they're easy to customize with your favorite toppings, so everyone can make theirs just the way they like it.

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Sushi Rice cooked and cooled
  • 3 Packages Roasted Seaweed Snacks I used the avocado oil flavor, but any works!
  • ½ Pound Imitation Crab chopped fine
  • ½ Pound Cooked Shrimp chopped fine
  • ½ Cup Cream Cheese softened
  • ¼ Cup Kewpie Mayo
  • ¼ Cup Sriracha
  • ¼ Cup Low-sodium Soy Sauce

For Garnishes

  • Chopped Chives
  • Spicy Mayp
  • Avocado
  • Furikake

Instructions

  • To make these sushi cups, start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lightly greasing a muffin tin.
  • Next, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped imitation crab, chopped shrimp, softened cream cheese, Kewpie mayo, sriracha, and soy sauce. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, then set it aside.
  • Once the filling is ready, crumble two sheets of seaweed and press into the bottom of each cavity of the muffin tin.
  • After that, scoop two to three tablespoons of rice into each cavity. Use the back of a spoon to press the rice down tightly.
  • Then, scoop the crab and shrimp mixture on top of the rice into each cavity, dividing it equally.
  • Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 16-17 minutes. After baking, broil on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
  • Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the sushi cups to cool before gently removing them.
  • Finally, garnish the sushi cups with spicy mayo, avocado, chopped chives, and a sprinkle of furikake before serving. Enjoy!
