WATCH: Different Versions Of Sushi Bake You Should Know About

By now, everyone must have heard of the sushi bake. This quarantine food trend is a deconstructed sushi that’s typically made with a layer of fluffy Japanese rice, creamy mixture of shredded fish or crab sticks and Japanese mayonnaise, and then topped with ebiko or masago. Once it’s baked, you get a spoonful of it (with all the layers!) and place onto a nori sheet. 

But, much like the ube cheese trend, it didn’t take long for this food trend to evolve into different versions. Home cooks started tweaking the rice, the meaty filling, the toppings, and even the wrap that comes with the sushi bake. 

So, if you want to switch things up, here are the different versions of sushi bake you should try:
