Inari Sushi

A typical Inari Sushi  is made of sushi rice wrapped inside the seasoned deep-fried tofu pockets called “Inari Age” (pronounce it like E-nari-Ah-geh). 

INARI SUSHI

INGREDIENTS

- 3 cup cooked sushi rice (1 cup for approx 4 Inari Sushi)

- 1 Tbsp white sesame seeds (roasted/toasted)

- 12 Inariage (seasoned fried tofu pouch)

- The cooking liquid from Inari Age

- 12 Shiso leaves (Ooba)

- 12 nori (seaweed) 

- Pickled red ginger (to garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Prepare sushi rice.
3. Add sesame seeds and mix together.
4. Open the Inari-Age pocket so you can put rice all the way in.
5. Moisten hands with the liquid from Inari-Age. Take a small handful of rice and make a small rice ball. Do not make it too big otherwise it won't fit in Inari-Age.
6. Wrap each rice ball with shiso and a piece of nori and stuff the rice ball into the Inari-Age. Close the Inari-Age and place open-end down on a plate
7. Another method is to keep the bag open on top. Wrap each rice ball with a piece of nori and stuff the rice ball into the Inari-Age. Then place shiso on top.
8. Tuck in the edge of Inari-Age inside the pocket so you will have nice smooth round edge. You can decorate the top as you like.
9. Serve with sushi ginger.
