Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into strips
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sushi rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and water, bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.
  2. Season the rice: In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice, being careful not to mash the grains.
  3. Cook the pork: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and half of the green onions. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread an even layer of the seasoned sushi rice on the bottom. Top with the cooked pork mixture, spreading it evenly.
  5. Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha together. Drizzle this mixture over the pork layer.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with sliced avocado, remaining green onions, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm, garnished with strips of nori.

This Pork Sushi Bake is a delightful twist on traditional sushi that brings comfort food to the forefront. It's a fun dish to share with family and friends, making any meal a special occasion. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
