Take the stress out of assembling sushi by throwing all the ingredients into one big dish and baking it to crunchy perfection. As delicious as sushi is, it can be tedious to assemble, so our Godzilla Roll Sushi Bake removes that step completely. This is the perfect dish for when you're craving sushi but running short on time. Sesame oil, Kewpie mayonnaise, and sriracha combine forces to make sure this recipe has all the flavors of a classic sushi roll but loses none of the kick. Scoop some onto a nori square and dig in!

If you're having trouble finding Kewpie mayonnaise, you can make your own in a pinch. Combine 1 cup mayonnaise with two tablespoons of rice vinegar and one tablespoon of granulated sugar, either using a whisk or a blender. It keeps the sweet yet savory tang in the dish without sending you back to the grocery store!
