With everyone being highly encouraged to stay at home, many Filipinos have decided to get their hands dirty in the kitchen by creating different recipes to cook! If you haven’t released your inner chef yet, you have probably tried to order food for delivery either from food delivery apps or via Facebook food groups. Upon scrolling through a number of food choices, you may have come across the latest hype, baked sushi! Baked sushi or sushi bake is basically deconstructed sushi; it has all the flavors you’d expect from a typical roll, such as rice and crab sticks, but it’s baked. Once out of the oven, you simply scoop a portion and place it on a nori wrapper and you’re good to go!

Although the baked sushi trend rose during quarantine, early food blogs in 2011 have actually called it “sushi casserole,” but it did not make that much of a buzz. Nowadays, many stores have even tried different variations of the baked sushi, with some adding cream cheese, mango, or other toppings. They are usually served in small or large trays, good for around 2 or 3 people for small trays, and feeding as much as 10 people for the large ones! If you’re craving for some baked sushi right now, here is a list of some online stores offering baked sushi for pick-up and delivery around Metro Manila!

Mini Qui Reyes, a Filipino celebrity nail artist, is known as the one who started the baked sushi craze in the Philippines.
