However, the common ingredients are the following:
• Imitation crab
• Japanese Mayonnaise
• Japanese Rice
• Vinegar
• Ebiko or Tobiko

• Nori (dried seaweed)
As I previously said, there are a lot of versions out there.

Now, if you’re wondering where to get some Ebiko or Tobiko, you can usually get it from any Korean or Japanese restaurant.

The first time we tried making some Sushi Bake at home, I got some fish roe from Santis. It was quite expensive.

Then I learned about Ebiko. Apparently, that’s what provides the orange color of the Sushi Bake dish. 😊

The good thing about it is that it’s more affordable than the fish roe.

Bulgogi Mart is a Korean grocery store. You’ll find everything you need for your sushi bake there.
