Combine 2 cups of cooked rice with rice wine vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil in a bowl.

Dissolve the sugar in the mixture and pour it into the cooked rice, tossing to combine.

Add equal amounts of black and white sesame seeds to the rice for nuttiness, mixing well.

Spread the seasoned rice into a baking dish and flatten it out.

In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese and Japanese mayo, using a mixer if desired, to make one cup total.

Taste the cream cheese mixture and season with a bit of salt if necessary.

Shred crab sticks and add them to the cream cheese mixture along with spring onions, mixing everything together.

Transfer the crab mixture onto the rice layer in the baking dish, spreading it generously.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes to gratinate the top and let it set.

Prepare a dressing by combining mayonnaise, Sriracha, and honey in a squeeze bottle.

After baking, drizzle the Japanese mayo and Sriracha mayo mixture over the sushi bake.

Garnish with furikake, bonito flakes, and chopped scallions before serving.
