Notes

Use short-grain or sushi rice for the best sticky texture.

If Kewpie mayo isn’t available, substitute regular mayo with a splash of rice vinegar and a pinch of sugar.

Adjust sriracha to taste—mild for kids, spicy for adults.

Cut nori into squares for easy scooping at the table.

Assemble ahead: cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking, adding 5–10 extra minutes bake time.
