Step-by-Step Instructions for Shrimp Tempura Sushi Bake

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook in a rice cooker with 1.25 cups of water for 18-20 minutes and cool to room temperature.
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Prepare tempura batter, dip shrimp in batter, and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
In a baking dish, spread cooled sushi rice, layer fried shrimp on top, and drizzle with creamy sauces and any optional add-ons.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through. Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crunch.
