   Sprinkle 1 tsp of rice seasoning (Furikake) over the rice layer.

9. 9

   Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup) over the rice.

11. 11

    Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

12. 12

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    While the sushi bake is in the oven, cut wonton wrappers in half and place them in a single layer on an air fryer tray.

14. 14

    Spray the wonton wrappers with avocado oil and air fry until crispy and golden brown.

15. 15

    Once the bake is finished, drizzle with extra Kewpie mayo, sriracha, sweet chili sauce, and hoisin sauce.

    Garnish with additional chopped green onions and serve warm with the wonton chips.

Notes

The wonton chips provide a necessary crunch to contrast the creamy sushi bake. You can adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha to the final topping.
