Sushi Bake

Benefit: High-protein, supports energy, improves digestion, and offers omega-3s for inflammation + skin health
Phase: Follicular or Ovulatory

This warm, cozy, high-protein sushi bake is perfect for your follicular rise in energy and digestion — and equally supportive during ovulation when lighter carbs, omega-3s, and hydration-boosting ingredients shine. It’s comforting, nourishing, and ridiculously easy to customize for each phase.

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, imitation crab, or cooked salmon
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine or sushi rice
  • 2 tbsp Kewpie mayo
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha

  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)
  • 1–2 tsp furikake
  • 1 sheet nori, cut or torn into pieces
  • Optional
    • chopped green onion
    • sesame seeds
    • diced cucumber
    • sliced avocado

Instructions:

  1. Cook rice according to package directions and let it cool slightly.
  2. Prepare your protein by chopping shrimp, shredding salmon, or tearing imitation crab.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together Kewpie mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
  4. Add warm rice, protein, sauce, furikake, and nori pieces into a baking dish. Mix gently.
  5. Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, until warmed through and lightly golden on top.
