1-In a small saucepan, heat ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until it’s all dissolved.

2-Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and fold in the vinegar mixture carefully to avoid mashing it. Add 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds and gently mix it in.

3-Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with sesame oil or pan spray. Spread the rice evenly in the dish and sprinkle a layer of furikake seasoning on top. Set it aside for now.

4-Chop the 1 pound imitation crab meat finely or process it in a food processor. Mix it with ½ cup mayonnaise and hot sauce to taste. Beat 1 egg and stir it into the crab mixture to hold it together.

5-Spread this crab layer over the rice, then sprinkle with black sesame seeds and another thin layer of furikake seasoning.

6-Mix ⅓ cup mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon hot sauce to make the topping, and drizzle it evenly over the crab layer.

7-Bake uncovered for 25 minutes. Serve it hot, garnished with cucumber slices, green onions, and nori sheets.
