Baked sushi exists — and it has been existing for quite a while.

A sushi bake is essentially a deconstructed California-style roll that is baked in a tray, casserole-style.

Unlike the viral TikTok video of frying salmon sushi in a pan, sushi bake doesn't look as off-putting... we think.

In Singapore, home baker @sushipinch specialises in sushi bakes that comes with seaweed sheets to make your own sushi wrap.

Sizes and flavours

Sushi Pinch offers two sizes — Full and Mini.

Delivered in an aluminium foil tray measuring eight inches by eight inches, the Full size comes with three packets of seaweed and is good for two to three people.

Measuring four inches wide, the Mini size comes in a styrofoam box with one packet or seaweed, suitable for one person.

Both sizes are available in three flavours:

• Oishi Kani (S$8/S$18)
• Spicy Tuna (S$10/$20)
• Samurai Salmon (S$12/S$26)

The Oishi Kani is a combination of a creamy, tangy sauce and imitation crab, topped with tobiko and furikake.

Spicy Tuna has a mild kick, while Samurai Salmon features premium pan-fried salmon with creamy sauce, topped with tobiko and crispy salmon skin.

A fourth flavour, Aburi Beef (S$12) featuring flame-seared marinated beef is available only in Mini size.

You may request for additional seaweed packets that are charged at S$0.80 each.

You can dm your orders to @sushipinch on Instagram.

Depending on your area, there may be varying charges for delivery (S$6 - S$8), or you can opt for self-collection for certain slots.

How to eat

Simply scoop out the rice with a spoon and plop it onto the seaweed sheet.

Ensure that your spoon goes all the way to the bottom, so that you get the rice as well as the toppings.

It should look like this:

Quarantine food trend

As strange as it sounds, sushi bakes are not new.

While it didn't become as viral as banana bread or Dalgona coffee, sushi bakes were one of the quarantine food trends in the United States and the Philippines in 2020.
